[18:01] <nailujk> hi guys
[18:01] <nailujk> I just got a development environment for jython setup
[18:01] <nailujk> I want to work on implementing some modules that are missing in jython
[18:01] <nailujk> any pointers?
[18:04] <agronholm> like what modules
[18:06] <nailujk> well, I thought of making a stab at ctypes
[18:09] <agronholm> some work has already been done on it iirc
[18:09] <agronholm> but I'm not the best person to ask
[18:09] <agronholm> I thin jimbaker knows best
[18:10] <nailujk> ok, I'll private chat him
[18:10] <jimbaker> nailujk, i would not recommend ctypes
[18:10] <jimbaker> lots of effort has been put into it
[18:10] <nailujk> oh ok
[18:11] <jimbaker> nailujk, if you want to impl something similarly cool, i would recommend the c ext api
[18:11] <jimbaker> it's a big project
[18:11] <jimbaker> but it should work
[18:11] <agronholm> nailujk: or a fairly low hanging fruit: implementing sqlite3
[18:11] <agronholm> since there already seems to be a pretty good java lib for that
[18:11] <jimbaker> nailujk, yes, that's a good one too
[18:11] <pjenvey> even lower hanging fruit, get 2.7 tests passing on the default branch
[18:12] <pjenvey> there's also a fair amount of skipped tests on there too
[18:12] <jimbaker> leo soto impl sqlite support way back using mips to java emulation
[18:12] <nailujk> are skipped tests the ones that dont have java version of c modules?
[18:13] <pjenvey> there may be some situations like that, but not really, if you grep for "skip" in Lib/test and grep for FIXME
[18:14] <pjenvey> you'll see ones marked as skipped
[18:14] <pjenvey> there are plenty that are just plain failing right now, though. you can run the regression test suite 'ant test' and see all the failed modules, you can run individual ones with dist/bin/jython Lib/test/regrtest test_failing.py
[18:15] <jimbaker> nailujk, there's no question that some of this smaller stuff is going to be the right path into jython dev
[18:16] <nailujk> sounds like a plan
[18:16] <nailujk> I will have a look the the tests in the default branch and see which ones I can tackle
[18:35] <nailujk> just as a matter of interest, you mentioned the c ext api. So Im assuming that CPython c modules need to eventually work in jython?

[21:06] * nailujk (~quassel@dsl-244-146-172.telkomadsl.co.za) has left #jython
[21:54] * wmeissner (~wmeissner@121.91.123.104) has joined #jython
[23:21] <jimbaker> nailujk, it would be extremely nice if we could support the c ext api - but not stdlib purposes. it's for integration with such packages as numpy or cython
[23:46] * wmeissner (~wmeissner@121.91.123.104) Quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds)
