Hello!
Here's an update on pirate (the python to parrot compiler) from the
trenches.
Pirate started as an example that fit in one small file and it stayed
in that single file over the years while it grew into a *huge* mess:
one monolithic object performing a variety of transformations on
python'

Dan,
What is your plan for getting python
objects working for the pie-thon?
I've made a small start on wrapping
PythonObjects as PMC's and that seems
to work. It's also a whole lot easier
than trying to recode them as PMCs
directly or writing them in imc/pir.
They just need to be tricked into

Hey all,
When you invoke a Coroutine, it calls swap_context()
from src/sub.c ... There's an else clause in there
that either swaps or restores theinterpreter stack,
but as far as I can tell, swap_context() is ONLY
called when entering a coroutine - not when we're
suspending it. That means all so

The following code segfaults immediately.
If you uncomment the second line (print "")
it works.
However, if you then uncomment the #non_prototyped
keyword in _depth1, it segfaults immediately again.
When I say it segfaults immediately, I mean that
the initial 0 is not printed.

Here's a new test case for t/pmc/sub.t
output_is(<<'CODE', <<'OUTPUT', "set_eh - throw - clear_eh");
print "start\n"
newsub P20, .Exception_Handler, _handler
set_eh P20
new P30, .Exception
throw P30
print "not reached\n"
end
_handler:
clear_eh
print "

I think perl6 is definitely the way to go, once it's ready.
BTW, what's the deal with Bundle::Perl6? I tried installi

Gosh you're quick. Thanks!
Want another one? :)

This prints:

No, it makes sense. You wouldn't want an exception in
the catch: block to trigger an infinite loop.
But i

What's the secret to making parrot recognize
a new PMC? I've got my .pmc file but I'm
not sure what to do n

Here is how I usually trigger a generic exception

File "", line 1, in ?
NameError: name 'hell' is not defined
Unfortunately, I can't seem to trap that in parrot,
because a find_lex failure isn't an exception.
Or am I
Just got the parrot calling conventions working for Py-Pirate.
I also wrote a guide that explains how the code is laid out
