Quoting Rahul Garg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Thanks for pointing them out. I will look into both of them. I like > the "with" statement. From an implementation perspective, the "with" > statement looks simpler since the Python parser seems to discard > comments and I use the Python parser as front end for compiler. > > For other annotations, I have been using either decorators or strings. > Decorators are used for type annotating functions. Strings just before > class declarations are currently necessary for telling the compiler > about fields of a class. > > Strings can get a little ugly. Its better to use language features > whenever possible. I will look into ipython's notation. > > More comments welcome :) > > thanks, > rahul > > > Quoting Stéfan van der Walt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > >> 2008/6/18 Rahul Garg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >>> I want to add a similar annotation to Python >>> example usage : >>> >>> "pragma parallel for" >>> for i in xrange(m): a[i] = b[i]*c[i] >>> >>> The interpreter ignores such strings and the code will of course >>> execute serially but such strings can potentially be used by compilers. >>> Any thoughts on this?
