I proposed the Summer of Code project regarding the Python backend for
Cython.
As I said in my proposal this would translate Cython code to Python +
FFI code (I don't know yet if it will use ctypes or something specific
to PyPy). PyPy's ctypes is now really fast and this will allow people to
port their Cython code to PyPy.
For the moment I've been mostly in touch with the PyPy people and they
seem happy with my proposal.
Of course I'm available for questions.
Hi Romain,
it's usually required for GSoC students to provide a patch for the project
they will be participating in. It appears that you have provided patches
for PyPy that were well accepted, but since you'd be working mostly on
Cython, it would be helpful for us to get an idea about how well you know
the Cython source code by now.
So, here's a little exam. If you were to implement support for the
globals() builtin in Cython, what would you consider the necessary parts of
the implementation? How would you approach this task? Feel free to ask for
any information or pointers you need to solve this.
Stefan
