Indeed, I would say the opposite. You should almost *never* use a .pxi file for anything. The reason is the same reason that "import *" is almost always a bad idea. When you cimport a name, it's easy to find out where it came from, but if you get it by including a .pxi, it can be a lot harder. The 'include' statement is only present in Pyrex mostly for historical reasons. If I had invented 'cimport' earlier, it might never have existed at all. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list Cython-dev@codespeak.net http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
