Would the work on numpypy also make e.g. scipy available? Or would a separate effort be needed to move that to PyPy? Their website (scipy.org) mentions it builds on numpy, but it's unclear to me if it also depends on other libraries.

Edit: I see the scipy website also mentions this:

  Various SciPy modules use Fortran 77 libraries and some use C++, so you'll also need Fortran 77 and C++ compilers installed. The SciPy module Weave uses a C++ compiler at run time.
So I guess it wouldn't work out of the box. Do the PyPy devs have any plan for this as well?


This is an example approach how this might work - http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2011/12/plotting-using-matplotl...


This one is a great big hack…


scipy only depends on numpy, but both at the python and the C level (i.e. it uses the numpy C API).
