And there are important changes to do around the representation of unicode for example, or the int/long unification, if we want pypy3k to be as fast as 2.7.<br /><br />I am quite happy of the current state: some people are paid to do and finish the real job, and volunteers can have fun and help in some parts, working on the most interesting project around Python.Amaury Forgeot d'Archttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08557577031178836535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971202189709462152.post-2816167048963147222012-01-29T00:12:30.834+01:002012-01-29T00:12:30.834+01:00What about a Py2k8, is there any hope?

From the commit messages, he seems to have done most of the work in the py3k branch so far, or is he the unnamed third contractor?Gaëtan de Mentennoreply@blogger.com
