The scientific aspects of the project is +to investigate novel techniques (based on aspect-oriented programming code generation and abstract interpretation) for the implementation of +practical dynamic languages. + +A methodological goal of the project is also to show case a novel software engineering process, Sprint Driven Development. This is an Agile +methodology, providing adynamic and adaptive environment, suitable for co-operative and distributed development. + +The project is divided into three major phases, phase 1 has the focus of developing the actual research tool - the self contained compiler, +phase 2 has the focus of optimisations (core, translation and dynamic) and in phase 3 the actual integration of efforts and dissemination of the results. +The project has an expected deadline in November 2006. + +PyPy is still, though EU-funded, heavily integrated in the Open Source community of Python.The methodology of choice +is the key strategy to make sure that the community of skilled and enthusiastic developers can contribute in ways that wouldn't have been possible +without EU-funding. + +For questions regarding the PyPy-project, please email our consortium at pypy-funding@codespeak.net. + +For more detailed information, documentation and code - please visit the PyPy community housed at Codespeak +http://codespeak.net/pypy + +______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ + +News + +PyPy in Heidelberg August 2005 +The team met up, in total 14 people to work on the planned 0.7 release. + +PyPy sprint in Hildesheim July 2005 +The team met up at Trillke Gut and worked on the upcoming phase 1 +deliverables.
