[pypy-dev] RinohType and PyPy2

[Brecht Machiels]

Thanks Maciej,

sys._getframe was introduced by "magicsuper", which I used to avoid refactoring all super() calls. I've done that now and there shouldn't be any more sys._getframe calls. You can pull in this commit from the pypy2 branch.

Unfortunately, this didn't improve performance much. PyPy now takes 26 seconds. Any other ideas?

Best regards,
Brecht
