uWSGI 1.9.11 released with PyPy support
- fijal 13y agoBenchmarks: http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/PyPy_benchmarks.html http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/PyPy_benchmarks.... Note that the benchmarks are preliminary as in there is both a lot of improvement possibility and we're not 100% sure if those are reasonable numbers. Also, the memory footprint mostly shows the base-interpreter size, your mileage may vary a lot.
- bsaul 13y agovery intersting link. the article mentions the possibility of pypy removing the GIL. Could anyone explain what's so difficult with GIL removal in general, and how,come pypy theoritically has this possibility while cpython does not ?
- fijal 13y agoGIL removal is easy. The hard part is that locking all the structures in order to avoid interpreter crashes (which are not acceptable in a language like python) is hard. It's not impossible though, jython did that. CPython additionally has a hard-to-remove refcounting GC strategy which makes it really hard to do any sort of GIL-less CPython without a major performance hit on locking every object at every refcount.

- 616c 13y agoEvery time uWSGI comes up they impress a little more with their documentation, feature set, and performance. It is the first time in a long time I read the docs cover to cover when I have downtime to learn what cool things I have been missing. I am new to the web programming game, but when I bought a VPS research told me this was the premiere middleware stack if I was interested in Python, and it handles just about everything else, so I kept reading to find so much cool stuff.
- akx 13y agoI'm glad the docs (among other things) are to your liking. :D
- 616c 13y agoYo, if you are one of the uWSGI guys, I spotted a typo in the notes linked above. Check out my pull request on Github when you are free.
- akx 13y agoRoberto already merged that, I see :) I just made a PR for a pile of changes on top of that. And I'm just a docs guy really, not affiliated with Unbit (the project's main sponsor) at all.
- fijal 13y agoI would not mind more docs on "how to write plugins" ;-)
