Using root with PyPy

ROOT

Is there any How To use PyPy with ROOT?

Or at least what are the first steps to start with?

Hi,

currently no, as PyROOT makes too much use of CPython internals to be used from cpyext. It may be possible to remove some of these features (such as the lazy lookup when doing “from ROOT import *”, but they are important for usability, so I’d rather keep them). That said, there is a branch of PyPy for which a CINT back-end is being worked upon (the Reflex back-end is more mature).

Cheers,
Wim
