I included IronPython and Jython because they are also rather complete implementations of (some version of) Python that are actively used in some contexts. During the past 20 years, these two and PyPy are the only generally-useful rather-complete alternate Python implementations, and they each improve on some of the pain points (2) (3) (4) hitting CPython. Neither of them supports the C API efficiently. Whatever you argue, my opinion is that they got where they are by first completely ignoring the C API. Even Pyston did that. About its C API, CPython can continue to prefer the status quo. I tend to think that it's exactly what will occur, so I'm staying away from capi-sig. A bientôt, Armin. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
