Hello Guys, I'm interested in participating in the Google Summer of Code this year and I've been looking at projects in the Wiki, particularly speed.pypy.org[1] as I'm very interested in the current VM development. However given my knowledge that project raised several questions:
1. Up until now the only 3.x Implementation is CPyhon. IronPython, Jython and PyPy don't support it - and to my knowledge won't get support for it during or before GSoC - and could not benefit from it. It seems that a comparison between a Python 2.x implementation and a 3.x implementation is rather pointless; so is this intended to be rather an additional "feature" to have 3.x there as well? 2. As a follow-up to 1: It is not specified whether the benchmarks should be ported using a tool such as 2to3, if this should not happen or if this is up to the student, this needs clarification. This may be more clear if it were considered under which "umbrella" this project is actually supposed to happen; will those ported benchmarks end up in CPython or will there be a separate repository for all VMs? 3. Several benchmarks (at least the Django and Twisted ones) have dependencies which are not (yet) ported to 3.x and porting those dependencies during GSoC as part of this project is an unrealistic goal. Should those benchmarks, at least for now, be ignored?
