Well, one good intro to numpy+cython is better than two that both need to be maintained. However, maybe it's my personal use-case bias, but I think that numpy is almost a standard part of Cython use -- I can't think of what I'd like to optimize that I wouldn't want to use numpy for! And numpy is why I skipped past pyrex and straight to Cython. I suppose one could be doing a lot of string operations or something, but for the most part, if you need compiled speed, you're working with a lot of numbers, and numpy arrays are THE way to deal with a lot of numbers (Or maybe the new buffer object, once it is widely supported by PIL, etc) What I'm proposing is that numpy info be integrated into the docs from the beginning. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [email protected] _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
