Why is CPython 2.5 a dependency for Jython 2.5?

0 votes
401 views

I'm running a box with Debian squeeze, and I just ran:

sudo aptitude install jython

which ended up installing Python 2.5:

[...]
Linking and byte-compiling packages for runtime python2.5...
Setting up python2.5 (2.5.5-11) ...

Does anyone know why CPython 2.5 is a dependency for Jython 2.5.1+ on Debian squeeze?

Not exactly answering your question...
The debian dependencies can be fairly 'conservative' which means all kinds of stuff is pulled in 'just-in-case' eg Ive seen aptitude build-dep pull in a ridiculous amount of doc-stuff like latex (whose size is of the order of GBs) probably because some document format may require it.

Might Jython use some Python modules/packages unmodified? Does sys.path in Jython refer to the CPython tree?

Peephole optimizations on CPython?

http://www.python.org/workshops/1998-11/proceedings/papers/montanaro/montanaro.html

Just wanted to clarify whether CPython already includes these kind of byte code optimizations? Are all the temporary variables removed when byte code is generated?

Timsort in Cpython

I'm currently trying to make sense of Python's Timsort function. From the wikipedia page I was told the algorithm is located somewhere here: http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/default/Objects/listobject.c

So of all the functions in there, could somebody point to me which one is timsort?

Python: Importing pyc files without py files takes more time?

I have an application which uses extensively python 2.7.6 (CPython).

The issue that I see is the following: "If there are only pyc files, the loading time of the application is much more than if I have pyc and py files. It is behind with 2 minutes more than if it had py files"

Do you have any idea why this is happening?
