I guess my view is that the buffer interface is not orthogonal to this type of thing - rather it will make it even easier to build things that could interoperate. Indeed one possible implementation strategy for these dynamic arrays would be to use buffers. _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list Cython-dev@codespeak.net http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
