The Felix binding generates C. So the answer is, the same way as you would in C. However the above is a low level binding, one to one with C. Higher level stuff is possible. Won’t know until the binding is operational. My script is basically working translating the *.pxd files in Cython. (Just the functions, the rest can be done by hand). Basically I can write, say, a concurrent matrix multiplication routine and map it to Python. Of course you can do that in C as well, but Felix is a very high level language so you can do stuff you wouldn’t bother attempting in low level languages like C and C++. — John Skaller skal...@internode.on.net _______________________________________________ cython-devel mailing list cython-devel@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel
