Running Odoo 8 on Pypy

Recently I wanted to test out odoo on Pypy. Pypy has not reached the point of compatability that one could simply switch the interpreter. Some libraries need to be replaced, or installed with latest development code.

That being said, changes are pretty simple:

1. gevent and greenlet

Install from the latest development code to avoid smth like this:

gevent/callbacks.c:8:18: error: ‘PyThreadState’ has no member named ‘curexc_type’

gevent/callbacks.c:11:19: error: ‘PyThreadState’ has no member named ‘curexc_value’

gevent/callbacks.c:12:23: error: ‘PyThreadState’ has no member named ‘curexc_traceback’

To install from github

pip install cython  git+git://github.com/gevent/gevent.git#egg=gevent

pip install git+git://github.com/python-greenlet/greenlet.git#egg=greenlet

2. psycopg2

Instead of psycopg, install:

pip install psycopg2cffi psycopg2cffi-compat
