Re: [pygame] people hating python for game dev.

[Laura Creighton <lac@xxxxxxxxxx>]

What you want is a much faster python.  We want it too, and are
doing something about it, called pypy, a just in time specialising
compiler.  See: http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/getting-started.html
if you want to play with our code which is currently only 2-3 times
_slower_ than normal python, which is pretty good considering that
we have hardly done any speed hacks at all.   This is an open project:
everybody welcome, including people with an interest but no background.
People who are good at art and website design and the like especially
welcome because, if you go check out our website, you will see that
we are particularly rotten at that, and it would be nice to have a
more attractive website.  :-)  We use pygame to develop pypy with,
yet another 'not game use' for the thing.
