Does it work with Python 3? http://pyinline.sourceforge.net/ Pyrex no longer has a userbase. Last ML post was 2014. Weave only supports python2, got ripped out of Scipy and also directs to check out Cython and strongly implies the project is all but dead/maintenance mode: https://github.com/scipy/weave Did I miss any of the python driven ways? -Jason
