[pypy-dev] question re: ancient SSL requirement of pypy

Hi,

Maybe we should write down some answers to these questions in a single place...

'numpypy' is already included in a baseline PyPy but is only a partial
implementation of numpy so far.

What we or you used to translate pypy (cpython 2.5-2.7 or pypy itself)
has no effect on the result.  You need to install everything for pypy
independently, just like you need to install everything independently
for various versions of CPython.

The module installation is very similar to CPython's.  It should
mostly just work if you use PyPy instead of CPython to run the
installer, e.g. "pypy setup.py install".  If the module contains a C
extension, it may or may not work out of the box.


A bientôt,

Armin.
