I'm definitely interested, but I defer to Eric as the ultimate arbiter of all things contour related. I'm not concerned about the C++, we depend on plenty of that and std C++ won't increase the compile or distribution burden. I am a little concerned about the "hand wrapped python" part because of the possibilities of introducing memory leaks and difficulties it may pose in the matplotlib 2->3 transition. We use CXX mostly to expose our C++ (eg see src/ft2font.cpp or src/_backend_agg.cpp) and I'm hopeful that this will ease our transition to python3 since CXX6 supports python3. It would probably be beneficial, but by no means required, to use CXX to expose the C++ part to python so take a look if you are inclined. I'm also a bit concerned by the maintenance aspect, since this is a fairly sophisticated piece of code. We'd be looking for a commitment to support it if we include it in mpl. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
