You're using C if you're calling it from Python. Knowing the language (to some degree) when using it is inevitable. > And knowing C requires you to know about OS architecture. The PyPy team (especially fijal) has always strongly discouraged from porting Python code to C for performance. If you have a good reason to use C, it is not surprising that you're going to be confronted with the dangers of such a language. I am not sure if you're trying to make a point against C or CFFI here. I am also not sure if the rest of your post actually means anything, or if it is just way above my head. But given that you're throwing around with statements like "this is useless", i don't feel compelled or motivated to try to understand your ramblings. -- Markus _______________________________________________ pypy-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
