Cython compiles the .pyx file to a .c file; distutils takes over from there. I'm not aware of any way to do this (short of making a+b+c into a shared library) but perhaps someone on the distutils lists would have some ideas. You could also look at using ccache. - Robert _______________________________________________ cython-devel mailing list cython-devel@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel
