cfbolz changed the topic of #pypy to: PyPy, the flexible snake (IRC logs: https://quodlibet.duckdns.org/irc/pypy/latest.log.html#irc-end ) | use cffi for calling C | if a pep adds a mere 25-30 [C-API] functions or so, it's a drop in the ocean (cough) - Armin
<mattip>
well, 3, only one of which prevents test collection
<mattip>
strangely, the previous test run had 11 errors like that
<mattip>
what caught my eye is that the buildbot sumamry page shows failures from the previous run but no results from other runs
<mattip>
I would have expected a skip (s) or success (.) instead

we seem to get a lot of people commenting about pypy3.exe crashing on startup (always on bitbucket's issue tracker, unsure how they *still* get past the wall of text at https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/new)
<arigo>
maybe one day one of them will answer the single question we have for them?
<mattip>
maybe it is the same person, and they are not proficient in english
<arigo>
the latest version seems to use better english than the other ones

Hey folks, if anyone from the PyPy team is here, thank you for your work! I would like to donate to PyPy but there is no "donate" info on pypy.org and the link on the blog returns a 404.
<arigo>
hey! thanks. At the moment we're in a transition period for funds, but you can go to https://opencollective.com/pypy, where we're moving to
<Major_Biscuit>
great, thank you!

Major_Biscuit: how is pypy working out for you? Care to share? Any benchmarks/pain points?
<Major_Biscuit>
Thank you for asking. I'm mainly using it for scientific/numerical code and while, as expected, most of the numpy code doesn't benefit from the JIT compilation, the parts that are pure python are about 1.5 times faster. I don't have any benchmarks readily available. Currently a pain point I have is getting scipy to work. The installation via pip fails for pypy 3.7.1 as reported here
<mattip>
but getting lots of Error: unsupported locale setting
<mattip>
is there a way to use some "interesting" locales untranslated?

mattip: I managed to do: _locale.setlocale(_locale.LC_TIME, "fr_CH")
<arigo>
note the "_" instead of the "-"
<arigo>
I managed to write a test with my fr_CH locale
<arigo>
the CPython 3.6 behavior of time.strftime('\u1234'), on a system where \u1234 cannot be converted to the system's locale, works on Linux but not on Windows
<arigo>
because on windows it uses the 8-bit strftime() function, but on linux it uses wcsftime()
<arigo>
but pypy never uses wcsftime()
<arigo>
do we care?
