Hi guys,
I am really interested in switching from PHP to python but there don't appear
to be a book for such.
Can anyone advice me please.

I *hate* it when applications do that. Just as I'm trying to read the
message, take a screen shot, or whatever, the message disappears. I
think that's one of the worst things you can do in an application.
If the message isn't important enough to require it to stay visible
until the user explicitly closes it, then it shouldn't go into a dialog
in the first place.

Subject: [Tutor] newbie needs pypy setup tips
Message-ID: <877h6zfnht....@pobox.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
I need advice about configuring pypy to run other python code. Why I ask:
I'm running a model implemented in python. Unfortunately a run on "straight"
python 2.6.x or 2.7.x requires
- 130 min on my ubuntu laptop (on which working would be more convenient)
- 55 min on a better build machine on which I currently have access
However I have read that this model runs 5x faster under pypy, so I wanna get
me that, but I'm finding the pypy docs pretty inscrutable. Nevertheless, I have
managed to do
me@it:~$ uname -rv
> 2.6.32-33-generic #70-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jul 7 21:13:52 UTC 2011
me@it:~$ which pypy
> /usr/local/bin/pypy
me@it:~$ ls -al $(which pypy)

However, when I try to *really* run the @#$%^&! thing, it spews:

What do I need to do to fix its library path?

I think, but not 100 percent, that pypy has a list. You might get better
traction there if you don't get a good *nswer here.
Although I have a couple questions. Have you profiled in python to look for
hotspots?
Have you tried writting portions in c?
What kind of model is it, out of curiousity.

I think I'll go with threading. I've become more familiar with it.

That's ok. When used carefully, threads can be pretty helpful to gain
concurrency in I/O tasks.
But just in case you ever feel like using them for anything else, this is
worth a read:
