Next Sprint: Berlin, May 17-22nd May

Our next PyPy sprint will take place in the crashed c-base space station, Berlin, Germany, Earth, Solar System. This is a fully public sprint: newcomers (from all planets) are welcome. Suggestion of topics (other topics are welcome too):

  • work on PyPy's JIT generator: we are refactoring parts of the compiling logic, in ways that may also allow generating better machine code for loops (people or aliens with knowledge on compilers and SSA, welcome)
  • work on the SPy VM, PyPy's Squeak implementation, particularly the graphics capabilities
  • work on PyPy's GameBoy emulator, which also needs graphics support
  • trying some large pure-Python applications or libraries on PyPy and fixing the resulting bugs. Possibilities are Zope 3, Django and others.

For more information, see the full announcement.

If the blog post is old, it is pointless to ask questions here about it---you're unlikely to get an answer.
