Description Dennis Schridde 2014-11-11 07:18:33 UTC

# eix -*Ic pypy
[I] dev-python/pypy-bin (2.4.0@09/11/14): A fast, compliant alternative implementation of the Python language (binary package)
[I] virtual/pypy (2.4.0@09/11/14): A virtual for PyPy Python implementation

# eselect python list
Available Python interpreters:
  [1]   python2.7
  [2]   python3.3
  [3]   python3.4 *

Primarily I would like to run sys-apps/portage-2.2.14 with pypy, which should be supported as it has PYTHON_COMPAT=(pypy …) set.

Reproducible: Always

Anything new here?

Basic preference switching is available in the current live ebuilds. It will take some more testing before I make a release.

However, this applies only to running scripts. For making /usr/bin/python start pypy it'd take more than that, since this thing is awfully fragile to its location.

Now in ~arch.
