Where is the pypy package in installed pypy-c

Question

I have pypy-c installed with macports (latest version : pypy @1.4.1). I run pypy-c and try to import pypy

$ pypy-c
>>>> import pypy
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named pypy
>>>> from pypy import translator
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named pypy

How do I import the package?

What do you want to import pypy for?

There's no pypy module in the binary distribution, but there's one in the source checkout.

Well, the macports is actually installed from source, as in it builds it afresh on your computer when you install it. I am trying to import pypy for two reasons. 1. Mainly: To install other packages, the patch for this ticket : https://codespeak.net/issue/pypy-dev/issue662 uses pypy. 2. I want to experiment with rpython to build my own executables, though this is not that important. – highBandWidth Mar 16 '11 at 21:04
For 1, you could build it yourself with the patch applied (using the macports source or, more likely to work, a fresh checkout). For both cases, you need a source tree to get at what you want. – TryPyPy Mar 16 '11 at 21:21

But the patch applied will execute from the binary pypy-c, after pypy is built. Even with pypy-c built from source import pypy doesn't work. – highBandWidth Mar 16 '11 at 21:33
That is correct AFAIK. Maybe it's possible to test it in untranslated PyPy using py.py with the patch applied, join IRC for details. – TryPyPy Mar 16 '11 at 22:08
