Hello All,

I am new to Cython, though I heard about it long ago.  I have been
programming in python using scipy and pytables a lot. I am building an HDF5
database using pytables from extremely large files containing tick by tick
stock data (one single day is several GBs). As you can imagine this is very
slow going, even trying to optimize the file io in python. What I am
wondering is will trying to do the file io in cython functions speed up the
process enough to make it worth while?  Can I simply access c FILE pointers
directly in cython and pass them back as python objects?  Your advice is
very much appreciated!

Best,

--TJB

P.S. I am working in Ubuntu 8.10.
