Yes, I think that would be great since there are also some issues like that when using Cython from Sage's notebook interface. The wish to specific c99 for example has come up and moving all the build logic into pyx files would also make the coexistence of the new parallel build system in Sage by Gary with the old setup.py based code much easier. > - Robert Cheers, Michael > _______________________________________________ > Cython-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev > _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
