I hadn't seen that, interesting.

It would be nice to have the option, but I'm not sure how restrictive it would be. For example, would we even be able to construct tracebacks for exception propagation? It's probably worth making an attempt though to see how hard it would be (and, if necessary, perhaps we could push to extend the ABI). - Robert _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list Cython-dev@codespeak.net http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
