I know we're definitely interested in pursuing a ctypes-based extensibility standard for Python, and we're continually pushing our lawyers to increase the allowed level of our interaction with other open source projects.
Hopefully, we'll be able to provide a less vague answer than this before too much time passes. :) On Thu, Jul 10, 2008 at 4:16 AM, Michael Foord <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The Jython guys are joining forces with the PyPy guys to collaborate on > CPython compatibility for alternative Python platforms. > > http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2008/07/ep2008-pypy-meets-jython.html > > Suggestions that are relevant to IronPython include: > > # ctypes - try to create _rawffi module in Java for Jython, which will > enable Jython to reuse our existing ctypes implementation (and have PyPy use > the Jython-rawffi for its own for PyPy.JVM) > > # generally see to share work / (continue) collaborate regarding extension > modules > > # collaborate on testing framework / benchmarking, have a common site to > show test results > > # come up with a set of "pure Python language" tests, which would gather > and refactor tests from CPython, PyPy and Jython. > > It would be great to see IronPython participate.
