[TEST-REQUEST] ndPython

[pegasus2000]

ndPython for PSPE/PSP is ready. I could release it, but before I need
some tests.

In Italy, we've done several tests and the speed appears better than
Carlos's StackLess Python in many cases. Furthermore, the interpreter
is professional, reliable, bug-free and it uses all technology provided
by Nanodesktop SDK (next 0.4 version).

In other cases, the results are contradditory. So.. I need someone
that can do other tests on the Python compiler/executor.

Can anybody of you help me ? If your answer is yes, I'll provide the
link for the guide and the beta version of the software.

Thanks in advance.

I'll give it a try, if you still need someone

Any news for me ?

A question: is this thing for the PSP or the computer? I can't tell if you run it on a computer as an emulator for PSP Python or on the PSP to use Python.

Both.

You can use ndPython under PSPE or under PSPE emulator.

For the Nanodesktop user guide 0.4, see in the package that I've
downloaded into Rapidshare.

My emulator runs!... at about 0.01FPS.

Coding an emulator in Python isn't such a good idea.

The problem is in the emulator code, I believe.

I don't think that the problem is ndPython. In any case... what
impressions have you had about the new Python interpreter ?

The emulator isn't very good, but I don't think you could emulate anything on the PSP in python at a million instructions per second. The overhead of a high-level language is too high.

Still, it's amazing that I can take such a large project and run it on the PSP with little modification. Great work.

The API on the other hand, isn't very clean in my opinion. I know it has just been mirrored over from the C API, but I'm used to easy, object-oriented interfaces in Python. I couldn't even get the windowing system to work, and gave up and used base screen drawing.
