aragilar: Somewhat interesting that "volunteer project no longer under active development" got changed to "unmaintained".
didip: wow, that would be a big shame. I hope many of the useful learnings are already ported to CPython.
killingtime74: What euphemism do you prefer then...
the_jeremy: If anyone else is also barely aware and confused by the similar names, PyPI is the Python Package Index, which is up and maintained. PyPy is "A fast, compliant alternative implementation of Python." which doesn't have enough devs to release a version for 3.12[0].[0]: https://github.com/orgs/pypy/discussions/5145
Muhammad523: Thanks. I knew this already but keep forgetting and getting confused
kev009: Undermaintained might be more suited since it does have life but doesn't appear commercially healthy nor apparently relevant to other communities.
doctorpangloss: knowing pypy has good implementations of a lot of behavior it helped me fix multiprocessing in Maya's python interpreter, fixing stuff like torch running inside of Maya.it's too bad. it is a great project for a million little use cases.
with: Thanks, I also saw this as PyPI and was confused, lol
Imustaskforhelp: @kvinogradov (Open source endowment), I am (Pinging?) you because I think that you may be of help as I remember you stating that within the Open source endowment and the approach of how & which open source projects are better funded[0]And I think that PyPy might be of interest to the Fund for sponsoring given its close to unmaintained. PyPy is really great in general speeding up Python[1] by magnitudes of order.Maybe the fund could be of help in order to help paying the maintainer who are underfunded which lead to the situation being unmaintained in the first place. Pinging you because I am interested to hear your response and hopefully, see PyPy having better funding model for its underfunded maintainers.[0]: https://endowment.dev/about/#model[1]: https://benjdd.com/languages2/ (Refer to PyPY and Python difference being ~15x)
skissane: > @kvinogradov (Open source endowment), I am (Pinging?) youunfortunately, @-pinging does not work on this site, it does nothing to notify anyone. If you want to get a specific person’s attention, use off-site communication mechanisms
mkl: Almost none of it will have been ported to CPython, as it's a completely different approach.
skissane: I really like PyPy’s approach of using a Python dialect (RPython) as the implementation language, instead of C. From a conceptual perspective, it is much more elegant. And there are other C-like Python dialects now too - Cython, mypy’s mypyc. It would be a shame if PyPy dies.
