Hi,

I'm the one who created the stackless-python package on PyPi. I think your question is very valid, but unfortunately, I don't have an answer yet. My work schedule was very tight this week and I didn't find any time to look after the stackless-python package or even to read the stackless mailing list. I still hope to catch up this weekend.


Regards
  Anselm

Hi all,

I was wondering. Now that `stackless-python` is like any other pypi package
on a pip perspective, what will/should happen if I want to use a package
that has `stackless-python` as a dependency in a pypy virtualenv ?

cheers,
Hervé

Stackless becomes a PyPI package that contains only the binary and the
few changed library modules.
After
          pip install stackless-python

you have stackless inside site-packages, and you get a message that
tells you

          "Along-side with pythonX.Y, you now have a command
           slpythonX.Y which you can run as an alternative"

and you can also

          pip uninstall stackless-python

...

to me this sounds good enough for easing the people into wanting to try
stackless out.

Maybe a different name for the modified python eg. matching the package
name from the install command stackless-python, stackless-python2.7 etc?


Possible. The name "stackless-python" was proposed in a parallel
discussion on the virtualenv list. Maybe it is better to use a shorter
name since I assume some laziness if people need this package
at all ;-)

But there are many packages with a name different from what gets
installed - for instance distribute, which is cheating, it just replaces
the easy-install package with a different version.


I share the view, that a virtualenv is and should allways be an
additional option, transparent for the package.


Yes. I thought things would be easier abusing virtualenv, but that
seems to be not true.

So I ended up with a "piggy-back stackless".

Btw., I am still playing with wild ideas, like on "import stackless"
replacing and restarting the interpreter completely...or some other tricks
that emulate an extension.
But it is not trivial without a mechanism to intercept the normal
startup-code of cpython.

Mayme I'll keep it simple and get somewhere at all ;-)

cheers -- chris
