PyPy is a fast, compliant alternative implementation of the Python language
(2.7.1). It has several advantages and distinct features:
- Speed: thanks to its Just-in-Time compiler, Python programs often run faster
on PyPy.
- Memory usage: large, memory-hungry Python programs might end up taking less
space than they do in CPython.
- Compatibility: PyPy is highly compatible with existing python code. It
supports ctypes and can run popular python libraries like
twisted and django.
- Sandboxing: PyPy provides the ability to run untrusted code in a fully
secure way.
- Stackless: PyPy can be configured to run in stackless mode, providing
micro-threads for massive concurrency.
- As well as other features.

lang/pypy: update to 2.5.1
Changes:
* Merge pypy-devel into pypy
* Drop pypy-devel (was intended to track pypy-current but no automated
process was implemented)
* Drop upstreamed patches

pypy-devel: update to 2.5
Changes:
* Improved warmup time.
* Improved hitted code performance (+10% compared to v2.4).
* Passing objects between C and PyPy has been improved.
* Integrated numpy support gains GenericUfunc API.
* Dictionaries are ordered by default.
* More careful handling of errno.
Update lang/pypy-devel to 2.4.0.
Release update for further testing by community.
Change Log:
- Reduced internal copying of bytearray operations
- Tweak the internal structure of StringBuilder to speed up large string
handling, which becomes advantageous on large programs at the cost of
slightly slower small benchmark type programs.
- Move to a mixed polling and mutex GIL model that make mutlithreaded jitted
code run much faster
- Remove ctypes pythonapi and ctypes.PyDLL, which never worked on PyPy
- Fix performance regression on ufunc(<scalar>, <scalar>) in numpy
- Classes in the ast module are now distinct from structures used by the
compiler, which simplifies and speeds up translation of our source code to
the PyPy binary interpreter
- Upgrade stdlib from 2.7.5 to 2.7.8
Update lang/pypy-devel to 2.3.1.
ChangeLog:
* The built-in struct module was renamed to _struct, solving issues with
IDLE and other modules
* Support for compilation with gcc-4.9
* A CFFI-based version of the gdbm module is now included in our binary bundle
* Many issues were resolved since the 2.3 release on May 8
Update lang/pypy-devel to 2.3.
Due to reported regressions, only 2.3.1 will be merged to stable lang/pypy.
ChangeLog:
This release updates the stdlib from 2.7.3, jumping directly to 2.7.6.
This release also contains several bugfixes and performance improvements,
many generated by real users finding corner cases. CFFI has made it easier
than ever to use existing C code with both cpython and PyPy, easing the
transition for packages like cryptography, Pillow(Python Imaging Library
[Fork]), a basic port of pygame-cffi, and others.
Update my ports to be compliant with new USES framework and fix other issues.
Changes:
* various: migrate USE_BZIP2 to USES=tar:bzip2
* various: migrate USE_XZ to USES=tar:xz
* multimedia/py-ffmpeg: add and prefer github (GH) as master site
* ports-mgmt/portbuilder: specify license as BSD2CLAUSE (instead of just BSD)
Most ports are updated infrequently so a single batch commit is preferred over
collating changes per port.
Fix lang/pypy-devel's sysconfig.py file.
In python the 'purelib' and 'platlib' paths should contain 'site-packages'
however the original pypy code does not thus the patch did not either however
this is not consistent with distutils/sysconfig.py.
Update lang/pypy-devel to development snapshot at 16-Dec-'13.
Changes:
1) Fix installation with LOCALBASE!=/usr/local
2) Properly detect the number of CPUs for concurrent builds
Notes:
1) The cffi based module _sqlite3.py needs to know where to find
sqlite3.h, which is hard-coded into the file, however the '.so'
created is based on the checksum of _sqlite3.py that changes
when changing the hard-coded path. Change this by properly
using the LOCALBASE environment variable.
2) This change does not modify the behaviour of the port as this
port runs the compilation stage directly, and correctly, however
this change will be upstreamed.
Update lang/pypy-devel to 2.2 (for wider testing).
Changes:
* Strip cffi libraries
Outstanding items:
* Fix virtualenv bug (ports/183795)
* Update memory and compiler times (Makefile, wiki)
ChangeLog:
* Our Garbage Collector is now "incremental". It should avoid almost all
pauses due to a major collection taking place. Previously, it would pause
the program (rarely) to walk all live objects, which could take
arbitrarily long if your process is using a whole lot of RAM. Now the
same work is done in steps. This should make PyPy more responsive, e.g.
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
Add stage support to lang/pypy, lang/pypy-devel and lang/pypy3-devel.
Also, require a modern compiler that can handle c11. Although this is
not strictly required (just about any C compiler would do) the base GCC
compiler has a memory bug and thus cannot reasonably compile the ports.
Fix the pypy ports.
Be more aggresive in cleaning up temporary directories that pypy leaves
behind in the copied directories (files and directories in __pycache__).
Only .so and .pyc should be left behind in those __pycache__ directories
and no subdirectories.
Also remove the manual requirement for building lang/pypy. Redports
successfully built lang/pypy3-devel (with leftovers) in 19 hours.
Reported by: Redports
Add lang/pypy-devel for non-stable releases of PyPy.
pypy-devel is intended as a staging ground for beta releases and - while
no beta releases are available - snapshots of pypy default branch.
While introducing pypy-devel to build logic has been reworked to better
accomodate pypy3. The lib-python/2.7 and lib_pypy folders are not renamed
after extraction (with only symbolic links used to emulate the structure).
PyPy still expects the standard structure and the symbolic links satisfy
this change.
The devel port was requested by mva@ to better support commercial clients.
