We (and by "we" I mean the greater part of Twisted Matrix Labs, including
myself) frequently recommend the combination of PyPy and Twisted in production,
yet PyPy is not a supported platform according to our own rules for platform
support.
I propose we change that.
Until yesterday, even our unsupported builder was offline and broken. I've set
up a reasonably configured PyPy builder with many dependencies installed
(although not PyCrypto, since that doesn't support PyPy).
There are some build failures, but not an overwhelming number:
<http://buildbot.twistedmatrix.com/builders/trusty64-pypy-2.4/builds/1/steps/trial/logs/problems
<http://buildbot.twistedmatrix.com/builders/trusty64-pypy-2.4/builds/1/steps/trial/logs/problems>>
Most of these are meta-programming issues, a couple have to do with
garbage-collector interactions, and there is at least one with an issue with
spawnProcess. If any of these failures make sense to you, please file bugs and
submit patches.
I've created a milestone for this:
<https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/milestone/PyPy-support
<https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/milestone/PyPy-support>>
so please feel free to put your tickets into it.
