I have no objection to programs written in "just plain Python" - just as I have no objection to programs written "in completely non-idiomatic ways, super hand-optimized for CPython". However, unless there was something interesting about them - such as PyPy made them fast - they might be weeded out in the future. In most cases I do have an objection to numpy and to calling C using ctypes - programs have to be more "plain Python" than that. _______________________________________________ pypy-...@codespeak.net http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
