The problem is CPyExt is not so fast and works only if PyPy implements the required functions used by the C module
- stefantalpalaru 14y agoIt's incomplete and there's no interest in finishing it.
- DasIch 14y agoA lot of C modules rely on CPython specifics, PyPy cannot support, performance of the PyPy C API is horrible which is a huge problem given that C extensions are mainly used to improve performance and embedding PyPy isn't possible either. CPyExt is more of a hack you use until you have ctypes/cffi bindings.
