I see that it creates and installs ``clr.pyd`` even on PyPy. This file name is wrong: it should be called ``clr.pypy-41.pyd``. The normal distutils creates files of the correct name,...

Let me guess, if you don't read Python.h, then the .NET code also missed the fact that the base PyObject structure is different (and so, all others too). PyPy is...

I feel that I should note it here, but gitless seems to work fine on Windows after you install Python 2.7 (tested with the 32-bit version). Afterwards, just do: `python...

No, CPython will not call __del__ as soon as a scope completes. It calls __del__ as soon as the last reference to an object disappears, which is very different from...
