How "solid" is PyPy?

I've been looking at PyPy recently, and I see it's reached version 1.0
(and supports language version 2.4). Given that, I was wondering what
level of backwards-compatibility one can expect from future versions,
i.e. if I run code on, say, a translated stackless PyPy now, what is
the probability that it will run unmodified on PyPy 1.x, 2.x, etc.?

Thanks!

That's hard to say. Nobody is using PyPy in any sort of production
system yet, so the PyPy team is currently focused mostly on actually
becoming useful. Nobody really has a clue what sort of solutions for
backward compatibility we will have.

Note also that the 1.0 release is sort of oldish already (but no new
release has been made). Most people just use SVN head, which is quite
stable.

Cheers,

Hi, I've been trying to create a image mouseOver effect using CSS - is this possible? Or will I have to use DIV tags or something along those lines? I've tried a number of things - the code below will work for the border no problem, but I can't seem to get the SRC to work - is this not an option in CSS?

Hello all, I am building a collapsable tree using Javascript with DOM in IE. In order to make collapsed cells disappear I have been hiding the text. The cells collapse but still leave borders behind. I have set the borderStyle to none and the black lines go away, but there is still white space where the borders were. Following are my html files I am using to test it. ----------------BEGIN HTML FILE----------------

I would like to use display:inline and other CSS attributes to build an entry form. Where the heading to the left of the text box is always a set width.

Hi everybody. Thank you for reading my post. I am having trouble getting "this" to work in all versions of IE (it's fine in Firefox, opera, konqueror, etc). What I would like to do is add an event listener to an element to change its border on mouseover and mouseout. I don't want to use CSS to do this (long story). The problem is that "this" does not work at all in IE for me. I tried to do a try/catch statement and use...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
