Using MingWPy with PyPy

[alhab...@gmail.com]

Hello every one,


I have two questions , a main one and a subside.

 I was trying to MingWPy with PyPy 5.1 (win32) on Windows 7 x64 , and i got this error :

"mingwpy-0.1.0b3-cp27-none-win32.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform".

I also tried "mingwpy-0.1.0b3-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl" and the same error.

Did any one tried and succeed in making these two work together ?

My second question is,
 i just saw this project in pypi , named "Crossroad" (Cross-Compilation Environment Toolkit)
which setup the shell environment for cross-compilation, on a GNU/Linux distribution that can target Windows environments (x86 and x64).
The case when compilation of an python package have dependency and need some earlier configuration,
such tool provides an easy why to handle issues and requirements.

Does mingwpy provide such an easy way to resolve issues similar crossroad, but for Windows  ?

Thank in advance for your cooperation.

Hi,

I don't use pypy myself. With a quick check I widly guess it is due to the fact, that mingwpy wheels are not tagged as purelib. Maybe a solution for pypy is to use a standalone distribution for mingwpy, that was proposed (but not worked out yet) earlier this year.

Thanks for the link for Crossroad btw, I will take a look on this.

There is an interesting podcast this week with an Intel guy:  https://talkpython.fm/episodes/show/57/python-performance-from-the-inside-out-at-intel.

It seems indeed pypy is getting some support from a powerfull company, Intel.

It would be wonderfull if one day:
- pypy support Python 3.5,
- then, thanks to another iteration of mingwpy, they reach Win64 compatibility.

It looks rather step9 than step3 of mingwpy project.
