It seems to be the right time to raise this issue now as we're talking future projects.
I actually raised the issue on the NumPy list first last week so that some feedback from the numerical community is ready for whoever is interested right away. I think the sum-up is that something like this is needed if we want to take up a real fight with Fortran (though whether that is one of Cython's goals is always debatable). Anyway, I feel myself that this has a better feel than a new array type, as it makes use of the buffer interface and so bridges better with Python-land. My proposal is here: http://wiki.cython.org/enhancements/buffersyntax And the thread from the numpy list here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.numeric.general/28439 Dag Sverre _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
