The next PyPy sprint is scheduled to take place right after PyCon 2006 in Dallas, Texas, USA.
We hope to see lots of newcomers at this sprint, so we'll give friendly introductions. Note that during the Pycon conference we are giving PyPy talks which serve well as preparation.
Goals and topics of the sprint
While attendees of the sprint are of course welcome to work on what they wish, we offer these ideas:
Work on an 'rctypes' module aiming at letting us use a ctypes implementation of an extension module from the compiled pypy-c.
Writing ctypes implementations of modules to be used by the above tool.
Experimenting with different garbage collection strategies.
Implementing Python 2.5 features in PyPy
Implementation of constraints solvers and integration of dataflow variables to PyPy.
Implement new features and improve the 'py' lib and py.test which are heavily used by PyPy (doctests/test selection/...).
Generally experiment with PyPy -- for example, play with transparent distribution of objects or coroutines and stackless features at application level.
Have fun!
Location
The sprint will be held wherever the PyCon sprints end up being held, which is to say somewhere within the Dallas/Addison Marriott Quorum hotel.
For more information see the PyCon 06 sprint pages:
Exact times
The PyPy sprint will from from Monday February 27th until Thursday March 2nd 2006. Hours will be from 10:00 until people have had enough.
Registration, etc.
