Re: [Python-Dev] WPython 1.1 was released
It would be interesting to see benchmark diagrams inline on one page with overall summaries. I've posted a enhancement to http://code.google.com/p/unladen-swallow/issues/detail?id=145 if somebody is going to look at that. I wonder if 32bit version can bring more speedups? -- anatoly t. ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

Actually, since I'm none of the above, I'll answer my own question: WPython is an implementation of Python that uses 16-bit wordcodes instead of byte code, and claims to have various performance benefits from doing so. It looks like good work, thank you. -- Steven D'Aprano ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

WPython is a CPython 2.6.4 implementation that uses wordcodes instead of bytecodes. A wordcode is a word (16 bits, two bytes, in this case) used to represent VM opcodes. This new encoding enabled to simplify the execution of the virtual machine main cycle, improving understanding, maintenance, and extensibility; less space is required on average, and execution speed is improved too.

A common mistake of people who announce their projects ;-) Someone recently make the same mistake on python-list with respect to a 'BDD' package (the Wikipedia suggests about 6 possible expansions of the acronym. WPython is a CPython 2.6.4 implementation that uses wordcodes instead of bytecodes. A wordcode is a word (16 bits, two bytes, in this case) I suggest you specify the base version (2.6.4) on the project page as that would be very relevant to many who visit. One should not have to download and look at the source to discover to discover if they should bother downloading the code. Perhaps also add a sentence as to the choice (why not 3.1?). -- Terry Jan Reedy ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
