Python 3 is over 2 years old, and Python 2.x is looking older every day. I might consider getting involved, but I don't want to feel like I'm spending time contributing to a dead-end branch of the language.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971202189709462152.post-38798010809095954582011-01-27T06:33:50.298+01:002011-01-27T06:33:50.298+01:00#pypy on freenode#pypy on freenodeMaciej Fijalkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11410841070239382771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971202189709462152.post-52675702959677793892011-01-27T00:12:36.513+01:002011-01-27T00:12:36.513+01:00What is the best IRC channel to go on?What is the best IRC channel to go on?Simon JOneshttp://eurohotelrooms.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971202189709462152.post-32446018024883762802011-01-22T23:59:58.502+01:002011-01-22T23:59:58.502+01:00@Anonymous: creating a new issue in the bug tracke...@Anonymous: creating a new issue in the bug tracker is not necessary: you can just come on IRC or write to pypy-dev attaching your patch, or you can e.g. fork the project on bitbucket and send a pull request, or you can send us the mercurial bundle, etc. etc.<br /><br />There is no really any bureaucracy for this :)Antonio Cunihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17017456817083804792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971202189709462152.post-44095128756565997892011-01-22T21:31:09.225+01:002011-01-22T21:31:09.225+01:00And then what do we do after fixing a failing test...And then what do we do after fixing a failing test case?

I'd say you need to know your way around Python programming in general which you most certainly do if you have done desktop or Web apps in Python.<br /><br />Secondly, it's important to know a bit about the basic structure of an Python interpreter. Reading some docs, among them Chapter 1 of http://codespeak.net/pypy/trunk/pypy/doc/coding-guide.html#overview-and-motivation should help. <br /><br />Thirdly, methodology: PyPy is written in a test-driven way, and for the Python interpreter there are several places for tests: one is the (sometimes slightly modified) standard CPython tests in the lib-python/(modified-)2.7.0 directory, another is pypy/objspace/std/test. The implementation of the interpreter mainly is written down in pypy/objspace/std/*.py.<br /><br />Hope that helps a bit. IRC is a good place to ask for further directions, of course.holger krekelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00985924698593515074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971202189709462152.post-29030556468960125952011-01-21T21:37:02.495+01:002011-01-21T21:37:02.495+01:00Seems a lot of volantiers applied - buildbot.pypy....Seems a lot of volantiers applied - buildbot.pypy.org renders 502 Proxy Errornekto0nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03289731826123761949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971202189709462152.post-19118424021877936082011-01-21T20:15:41.395+01:002011-01-21T20:15:41.395+01:00Would you mind giving us a hint of what skills pro...Would you mind giving us a hint of what skills programmers would need to be actually useful? I know you don't want to scare anybody off, but PyPy is kind of the ultimate evolution of what you can do with the language, and I get the sense (perhaps wrongly!) that it goes places where desktop-and-web-app guys like me are a bit out of our depth and actually might waste time more than anything else.<br /><br />I'm asking this here because I'm pretty sure that others are going to be thinking the same thing.Oliver Sherousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01982301291658322217noreply@blogger.com
