Package: cython Version: 0.15.1-1ubuntu1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
I'm considering working on packaging a Python 3 version of Cython, but before doing so I think it'd be prudent to discuss the overall framework. Rationale ========= The 'cython' script provided in the 'cython' package already generates Python 3 compatible code, so the rationale for providing a Python 3 version of Cython is limited to the ability to run "import Cython" from within Python. In addition, "setup.py" which rely on compiling *.pyx files using "cythonize" or similar also require a Python 3 version of the package. Immediate Issues ================ 1. Should the package be named cython3, python3-cython, or something else? 2. Should the cython script in the package be renamed and provided as cython3 (similar to ipython3, etc), or just dicarded?
