These are each an important milestone +for a subset of the Python community. + +- Thanks to a grant by Mozilla, "PyPy3" now largely supports Python 3.5 + with one or two extensions from Python 3.6. Full support should be + very close. (Note that PyPy2 will not disappear, if only because PyPy + itself is written in Python 2.7.) + +- Numpy and the major packages of the scientific stack are now starting + to work well with PyPy (PyPy2 mostly, but also PyPy3). This is thanks + to progress in "cpyext" emulating the CPython C API, as well as fixes + to the packages in collaboration with the upstream developers. + +This talk is about what's new in PyPy in the last couple of years, +including these two topics. _______________________________________________ pypy-commit mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-commit
