Using pypy for real world applications part pi/2

I've found an unusual problem regarding rctypes - in implementation of 
fcntl.ioctl, ioctl
can return a string containing 0 bytes, because the length is somehow 
defined. Our rctypes (or implementation itself, I failed to find by now) 
assume that string is null terminated. The unusual thing about this is 
that on top of ctypes it works perfectly well.

Any ideas how to fix it?

I think I'll go to bed now and wait for someone else to take a look...

Cheers,
fijal

PyPy fully passed its final EU review!

Hi all, 

we yesterday successfully passed the EU review of 
our 28 month PyPy EU project period!

We gave almost 6 hours worth of talks and got a lot of good questions 
and remarks ... all of our results met appreciation! 

I am relieved - and my thanks to everybody involved 
and to everyone who helped!

cheers & best,

holger

P.S.: 
    As i've heard the thought from some people that the EU might "prolong 
    funding" if PyPy is successful: this is not how it works. We had a 
    research contract and we fullfilled that contract - if we were to have a 
    follow up project, we'd have to submit a new research proposal and go 
    through another application and contractual process. 

P.P.S.: the EU project is still not 100% final - money and 
        budget finalisation / audits remain ...

Our Project Officer at the Commission summarized their approval with stating
that we had achieved "excellent technical results"! So that means a huge 
thanks
and a big congratulation coming right back at you Anto - and all others 
contributing
during this time!

Cheers

Bea

Actually, this was a minor bug in fcntl module, fixed now.

Cheers,
fijal

Because than, annotator complains  about except termios.error, e: e.args[1]

I fixed the bug with doing strange hacks in the module-initialization 
code, I've subclassed the exception and by temporarily re-raising it in 
module startup, I force e.args to be more regular, but this is a bit 
ugly trick (there is module/termios/__init__.py function startup for 
this purpose). Breaks for example compilemodule and it's ugly.

Cheers,
fijal

Sorry for not coming back to you earlier on this.  I was (probably just
like many others) quite too much involved in preparing the EU review for
this...  I will also need to rest now, so I'm not up to travelling to
Wroclaw at the moment.  It seems that you didn't get much feedback about
the sprint...

I can confirm that we plan a PyPy-related sprint at EuroPython in
about 1 month now - after EuroPython, so 12-14 July.
See http://wiki.python.org/moin/EuroPython2007Sprints.

A bientot,

Armin.

Ah, because you need to carry an error code.  That's the same as with
OSError, so you should fix it in the same (hackish) way - grep for
OSError in pypy/annotation/  :-)

A bientot,

Armin.
