With "preferred way", I was suggesting that we could *deprecate*cdef public int x cdef readonly object y for cdef class properties in favour of cpdef int x cpdef readonly object y
I think I've just realised one of the reasons for my gut dislike of the "cpdef" keyword -- it looks too similar to "def". At first glance, it's hard to spot the difference between the cdef and cpdef versions of two otherwise identical declarations. I think this is too subtle for something that makes such a big difference to semantics. It's often important that Python code is not allowed to mess with an object's internal state, so making it possible should require something more obvious. -- Greg _______________________________________________ cython-devel mailing list cython-devel@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel
