======================================================== Vilnius/Post EuroPython PyPy Sprint 12-14th of July
The PyPy team is sprinting at EuroPython again and we invite you to participate in our 3 day long sprint at the conference hotel
- Reval Hotel Lietuva.
If you plan to attend the sprint we recommend you to listen to the PyPy
technical talks (EuroPython schedule_) during the
conference since it will give you a good overview of the status of development.
On the morning of the first sprint day (12th) we will also have a tutorial session for those new to PyPy development. As 3 days is relatively short for a PyPy sprint we suggest to travel back home on the 15th if possible (but it is ok to attend less than 3 days too).
Goals and topics of the sprint
There are many possible and interesting sprint topics to work on - here we list some possible task areas:
completing the missing python 2.5 features and support
write or port more extension modules (e.g. zlib is missing)
identify slow areas of PyPy through benchmarking and work on improvements, possibly moving app-level parts of the Python interpreter to interp-level if useful.
there are some parts of PyPy in need of refactoring, we may spend some time on those, for example:
- rctypes and the extension compiler need some rethinking
- support for LLVM 2.0 for the llvm backend
- ...
some JIT improvement work
port the stackless transform to ootypesystem
other interesting stuff that you would like to work on ...;-)
