Me to, -1 on this... > The Cython compiler should run under Python 2.3 and create Python > 2.3-compatible code, but that is different from backporting builtins > like "set". However, Cython-the-compiler should not fail with syntax error if you do 'cdef set s', right? This indicates that builtin module is being used in the Cython codebase, and that is a potential source of problem. In sort, I believe if you run Cython with python2.3, the generated source should be valid Py3 C code, even if something like 'set' is being used. I'm missing something here? -- Lisandro Dalcín --------------- Centro Internacional de Métodos Computacionales en Ingeniería (CIMEC) Instituto de Desarrollo Tecnológico para la Industria Química (INTEC) Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET) PTLC - Güemes 3450, (3000) Santa Fe, Argentina Tel/Fax: +54-(0)342-451.1594 _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
