pypy and mc

[Eddie Aretz]

Installed pypy to run on production pin, but the MC that needs to run on standard Python is not connecting to the game run on pypy. Pypy (3.9) is not running in a sandbox but I understand it runs in its own environment as I had to install pip and mpf under pypy..as per the docs. Just wondering if someone has seen similar?

Hello Eddie-

There should be no problem connecting a pypy-run MPF with a standard python MC. The two connect via a network port on the machine (5050 by default) so neither one has knowledge of how the other runs. The place to check is the logs: does the MPF log say waiting for connection, and does the MC log say waiting for connection? They should each sit and wait for a connection before booting into the game.

I use pypy on my games too!

Hi Anthony, thanks for the reply. See below, they do actually connect but there is no screen text or sound coming through. The MC gets all the way to mc_reset_complete and then just hangs there. Could I ask what versions you are running? My python is 3.8 and pypy is 3.9... wondering if a python upgrade is worth a try? This is a nice to have but not critical as my pin runs fine, but you can never have too much power :)

Anyone happen to get this working? I have similar issue to the original post.
