I doubt it's much better, and that's part of the point of the project: to identify the problems and fix them once and for all. Getting anything fixed in pyrex was hard due to a very opaque development process, but Cython is part of the Sage umbrella and thus enjoys a very open and active development community. Furthermore, they are explicitly interested in improving the Cython numpy support, and are willing to help along if this project goes forward. cheers f _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
