Hi All,
A fairly brief question: how does one get a Cython class to inherit
from a Python class defined in another file? Say I have class A
defined in foo.py, and I want to define a class, B, in a separate .pyx
file, that inherits from A. In my .pyx file I currently have something
like the following:
from foo import A
...
cdef class B(A):
...
but I get an "'A' is not a type name" error when building. I found the
following in the documentation.
A complete definition of the base type must be available to Cython,
so if the base type is a built-in type, it must have been previously
declared as an extern extension type. If the base type is defined in
another Cython module, it must either be declared as an extern
extension type or imported using the cimport statement.
I guess instead of my import statement I need to have something like
cdef extern from "foo.py":
...
at the top of my .pyx file, but can't figure out what type information
I need to provide Cython. Apologies, as I'm sure the answer is
obvious, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan.
