Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amaur...@gmail.com> added the comment: Careful: the ctypes module is much slower with pypy than with cpython.
In any case, a C extension module is preferred because the (platform-dependent) details of the liblzma library are defined in a .h header file, not as a ctypes description. Future versions of the library are likely to be source-compatible, but may change some struct member for example; this would break a ctypes-based interface. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6715> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
