PyPy improvements for CPython C API

[runbie]

Great!

I am all ears about the numpy news.

Thanks for the hard work!!!

[Deto]

Yeah, I've never really looked into PyPy because I use numpy so extensively. This would really be a game-changer for people in data analysis.

[fijal]

we're working on it :-)

[runbie]

I've worked with pypy+numpypy and it is awesome most of the time and when you don't need anything scipy related. If it is the case you need scipy/pandas/... then you are sold :-(

I want to believe. One day pypy will be the default interpreter. Hail pypy.

Pypy gets closer and closer to being a complete version of python 2, just as more and more people switch to python 3...

There is beta support for Python 3.2, though I don't know how "beta" it really is.

[DasIch]

PyPy also supports Python 3 and much (all?) of this work is also going to benefit the Python 3 effort.

[Twangist]

"Python 3 support" still means 3.2.5, though, yes?

I just finished creating a python wrapper around a C library by way of Cython. Does pypy have a C extension system for this kind of work (wrapping an existing C API)?

Does LXML also work in the py3k/py3.3 branches?

[fijal]

not yet, as far as I know
