Düsseldorf HPy/PyPy/GraalPy sprint September 19-23rd 2022

The programming language group of the Computer Science department of Heinrich-Heine Universität Düsseldorf is happy to invite everybody to another sprint in Düsseldorf, from the 19th to the 23rd of September 2022. This is a fully public sprint, everyone and particularly newcomers are welcome to join us! The goal is to bring together people from the HPy, PyPy, GraalPy and CPython communities.

Topics and goals

  • work on HPy APIs, discussions around next steps for the project

  • continuing new and ongoing ports to HPy, including Cython, NumPy, Pillow, Matplotlib

  • 3.10 support on PyPy and GraalPy

  • preparing the next PyPy release

  • discussions around ways to improve collaboration between the different Python implementations

What is a sprint?

The experience of the PyPy project has shown the benefits of regular sprints. They are focussed one week physical meetings where people pair-program on new features and discuss future plans. Coming to one is a great way to get started with a project!

Location

The sprint will take place in a seminar room of the computer science department. It is in the building 25.12, room 02.50 (second floor) of the university campus. For travel instructions see
