Conda-forge.github.io: pypy team?

[CJ-Wright]

First congrats on the pypy migration, this is super awesome!

Do we want a pypy help team? If so who would be interested in being on it? There seems to be a bunch of questions around the pypy migration to it would be great to know who to ask for help.

We can add a help-pypy team and I'm happy to be in it.

Also has anyone let pypy leadership that we are packaging their language in a serious way? They might be able to include it on their website and such (and maybe provide some support?)

I believe @mattip knows ;-p

Yes, PyPy is in the loop. I would be happy to link to information about using conda in our install page, what should I write? How would a newbie get started with using pypy3 + numpy + django?

[mattip]

and of course ping me if there are any issues

If they have a conda installation,

conda create -n pypy-env pypy numpy django
conda activate pypy-env

If they don't, they can download miniforge-pypy3 which is a conda installation with pypy.

(once https://github.com/conda-forge/django-feedstock/pull/94 goes in)

Ah, we need psycopg2 first which needs a new PyPy release. https://github.com/conda-forge/psycopg2-feedstock/pull/35

[mattip]

Thanks. I guess it might be prudent to wait a few more days before making noise about this, and in the mean time I will push forward with a new release. It will be ABI backward-compatible with the current one, and include improvements for things like psycopg2. Since the ABI tag will not change, I think successful feedstock builds should not need to be rerun.

PyPy 7.3.1 has been released.

[scopatz]

Awesome! I saw the announcment!

There's a help-pypy team now and the migrator mentions this
