Hey Dag, Thanks a bunch for your helpful answer. This clears things up.
The most common use of this for me will be to do the same thing to every element, regardless of whether or not it's contiguous. In my case, it's for a type of Monte Carlo simulation. I still use the array in python so it doesn't make sense to create a low-level c array with malloc/free. As a quick thought: I don't know how difficult it would be to implement, but a mode for this kind of use would be nice. Something like mode="unordered" to emphasize the use case. I guess you already have that with the above code, but I've found the new buffer syntax so nice that I don't particularly like going back to the direct method. I would be quite happy to try and implement this, however, I'm in the first year of my phd program so between classes and research time is quite scarce. I haven't worked on the cython code yet, though I've long wanted to and plan to start contributing as soon as time permits. --Hoyt ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + Hoyt Koepke + University of Washington Department of Statistics + http://www.stat.washington.edu/~hoytak/ + [EMAIL PROTECTED] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
