Thank you very much, Fijal . I read docs of pypy today and I found there is detailed introduction about test. Sorry for that careless question. And how about the bug? I don't know which one is beginner-friendly. Or may I submit a little piece of code about the idea instead of a bug-fixing? A

Dear developers, I'm a student interested in the idea of copy-on-write list slicing. I noticed that on the PSF's GSoC wiki, students are suggested to fix a beginner-friendly bug, but after some searching, I eventually failed in finding some appropriate ones. May you help me about this? Anoth

Hi Tushar, In the past few years, we have found GSoC to be tricky to handle. As a result of this, we're likely to have a high bar for student acceptance this year. The main criteria will be whether you have already contributed to PyPy in a significant way. If you only come up with a GSoC propos

Toby, I've actually put out enquiries to the CERN people about a very similar idea, just relating to PyCling -- which is a more general cousin of cppyy, from what I can tell -- and so perhaps I could combine your expertise with theirs. I'll just quickly answer here first, get into more detail

Hello Toby, Overall it's a nice goal, but I don't think that improving cpyext is easy. Its goal is to reproduce the CPython API, in all its details and caveats. I will list some of them to explain why I think it's a difficult task: - First, PyPy objects have no fixed layout exposed to C code. for
