From what I hear, the usual opinion is that distutils is messed up beyond redemption for anything but simple Python package installation anyway and if one is serious about approaching optimal incremental builds, one should just switch to another tool; sooner rather than later. David Cournapeau knows a lot more about this, as he's working on numscons: SCons builds for NumPy. Perhaps we should ship a Cython plugin to e.g. SCons...David, do you know of any? -- Dag Sverre _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
