There is tremendous value that often goes unrecognised in taking best of brand routines and packaging them so real people can use them, consistently and reliably over decades.

It is however one of the prime examples of commercial use of open source software with no engagement of the community. colab notebooks may not run on a “vanilla” Jupyter installation because of google-only extensions to the protocol, and th

PyPy works primarily on #pypy, with yearly sprints and additional coordination on the PyPy-dev mailing list

Here is a nice comparison https://flothesof.github.io/optimizing-python-code-numpy-cyt... Tl;dr: pythran is very similar to numba but blazingly fast on cpu

Highlights: - aarch64 support - faster JSON decoding - more stdlib modules are cffi-based - Python 3.6 support no longer marked “beta”

They should have led with the bottom line - add a `sleep 7` to any cron job that is going out to the network and set it to start at the top of the hour plus 3 minutes

Citation needed. I recall people saying they prefer the concise syntax and speed of development with interpreted languages that do not force type annotations and others who prefer the runtime speed and compiler warnings in a typed language.

PyPy 3.6.1 was released and is very usable, the next release will be 3.6.9

How does this handle “pip install” and third party code? It seems the memory safety guarantees depend on reimplementing things in Rust (for stdlib modules), which would be interesting in and of itself, as well as formal verification.

It’s not binary. People and forums can be fine sometimes, toxic sometimes. The question is what happens when things go wrong. Is there a way to recover? Is there enough concern and empathy to actually move forward from a possible hurtful in

Here is an explanation and a suggestion on how to implement it. http://doc.pypy.org/en/release-2.6.x/windows.html#what-is-mi... Please help us, we are a small team. The best way to reach us is through IRC on the #

In rpython (a restricted python2 language) unicode refers to a specific python object. Utf-8 classes refers to rpython classes that hold a bytes, not unicode, but are aware of the encoding of the bytes.

by mattip 8y ago
That conversion should not happen only when needed, i.e. when interfacing via ffi to system calls.
111.
by mattip 8y ago
Not really. The UnicodeObject has utf8 bytes, a length in codepoints, and an optional index map that is only calculated if needed to traverse the string. Most strings won’t need the map. String matching is utf8 aware, and indexes by codepoi

Yeah, about that. Speed.pypy.org is having problems updating, the seven year old fork of codespeed needs refreshing. The benchmarks there are python2, so we would need to rework them for python3. In the meantime, the python perf and perform

No. RPython still supports unicode strings. It now also supports utf8 string classes for things like regular expressions and ffi calls. PyPy just uses the non-unicode rpython apis.

PyPy v7.1 released; now uses UTF-8 internally for Unicode strings(morepypy.blogspot.com)

There are some “easy” tasks to achieve 3.6 full compatibility, tell your friend to try it and see. We are around on #pypy on IRC, mostly european timezones

We backported fstrings to 3.5. We also have an alpha quality linux 3.6 available on nightly builds

PyPy should be releasing soon, if you use cutting edge then you have to use cutting edge PyPy as well

PyPy dev here. Yes to both - all of them and it was a right slog. If it doesn’t work report an issue. We have a proposal looking for funding to make it fast.
