With Cython 0.15, the following works with Python 2.7: ### start file: prob.pyx
def f(x): cdef int* p return eval(x) ### end file >>> import pyximport; pyximport.install() >>> import prob >>> prob.f("5") 5 but with Cython 0.16 it doesn't even compile: >>> import prob Error compiling Cython file: ------------------------------------------------------------ ... def f(x): cdef int* p return eval(x) ^ ------------------------------------------------------------ prob.pyx:3:15: Cannot convert 'int *' to Python object If I comment out the (unused) line "cdef int* p" then it works with Cython 0.16. The issue is the pointer declaration; something like: def f(x): cdef int p p = eval(x) return p*p works fine with Cython 0.16.
