<div dir="ltr">I just chatted with the Python product owner at Red Hat, he says this is going to make it's way to the next step later today (this past weekend was a Fedora conference), so this should be happening soon.

<div>Joe: Yup, I'm familiar with that piece (I had lunch with Vish the other week and he's the one who suggested Swift as the best place to get started with OpenStack + PyPy). For those who don't know I'm one of the core developers of PyPy :)</div>

<div class="im">One of the issues that came up in this review however, is that cffi is<br>
not packaged in the most recent Ubuntu LTS (and likely other<br>
distributions), although it is available in raring, and in a PPA<br>

[3] respectively).
<div class="im"><br>
<br>
As a result of this, we wanted to get some feedback on which direction<br>
is best to go:<br>
<br>
a) cffi-only approach, this is obviously the simplest approach, and<br>
works everywhere (assuming you can install a PPA, use pip, or similar<br>
for cffi)<br>
b) wait until the next LTS to move to this approach (requires waiting<br>
until 2014 for PyPy support)<br>
c) Support using either netifaces or cffi: most complex, and most<br>
code, plus "one or the other" dependencies aren't well supported by<br>
most tools as far as I know.<br>

It doesn't appear to me that this is available for RHEL yet, although it looks like they're working on it:

<br>
That's also going to need to happen before we can do this, I think.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
