I see it as unlikely there'll be real consolidation, ironically for a language with a "one obvious way to do it" philosophy there many different opinions about how a framework would work. That said there is progress on consolidating some o

Python is not doing what you expect here, it sees that as: y = x + (+(+(+(+x))))

Eh, you work on one for long enough and you start to take it for granted.

Ah, this morning someone told me that if I wanted to get serious about my constant folding I should be aware the GCC impl was XXXX LOC (in the same neighborhood as what you posted) so I assumed :)

I'm assuming those are from GCC?

I wish someone would tell him that it sucks on every other platform as well.

Am I supposed to be impressed? Just about all of these are oneliners in most high level programming languages. The test of a languages expressiveness is much bigger programs.

by kingkilr 15y ago
It depends, it works very well on C-like static languages, however it's basically useless for a dynamic language.

Software engineering, which is a largely unrelated discipline.

No, I haven't timed it myself, I just know how it's implemented and what code we're generating internally. Edit: To be clear I would not advocate not using super() on account of this, as I said it'll eventually be fixed.
376.
by kingkilr 15y ago
Unfortunately on PyPy super is less efficient than refering directly to the parent classes method, however it's fixable (and will be fixed).

I'm pretty sure most of the cards agreements actually forbid you from passing on their charges to the consumer.

Amazon taped all of our talks, but I don't think they're for external distribution because Amazon engineers were asking questions involving internal information.

Apparently PyPy still has work to do, we must insert ourselves into this list!

Rubinius is using it successfully though (I think anyways, does the Ruby community have benchmarking infrastructure?)

Nope, multiprocessing was added to the Python standard library in 2.6, our previous releases implemented python 2.5, 1.5 implements 2.7, so it now includes multiprocessing.

With the JIT totally disabled I think we're between .8-2x slower, depending on what you're doing.
384.
by kingkilr 15y ago
Last I checked we startup faster than CPython. As for early-run-performance. Startup really depends on the total amount of code you have, if you've got a few hundred lines of code the JIT's often warmed up and fast in under half a second.

psycopg2 is implemented in a fork of mine: http://bitbucket.org/alex_gaynor/pypy-postgresql/ it requires compiling yourself, but works nicely (I was told by someone that this brought their script's time from 2 minutes to 8 seconds). As o

Which databases? At the moment we have SQLite, Oracle (haven't tested it myself), and Postgresql. Plus whatever you can find a pure python driver for. Also, what do you mean by messaging?

by kingkilr 15y ago
Yep that was the original benchmark, and I ran a PyPy vs. CPython comparison on the same code from which we can extrapolate: http://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/fr4w9/benchmarking_g...

Faster than CPython maybe, last time someone did a benchmark of Go vs. Python webservers PyPy came out on top.

Python doesn't provide an API to aio_* because they're basically useless (on Linux at least).

If this interests you take a look at django-wsgi which enables you to do the same things.
