Cython takes care of that already. http://docs.cython.org/src/userguide/sharing_declarations.html#cimport http://docs.cython.org/src/userguide/external_C_code.html#using-cython-declarations-from-c Sturla _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
