Comment (by jdemeyer):
Replying to [comment:6 kcrisman]:
> I'm a little concerned about why .pyx files worked before anyway.
They worked only because they were treated as plain Python files. No
Cython was involved. Treating them like `.spyx` files is the logical
thing to do.
> Also, any reason for making the messages print to stderr when they
aren't errors?
These kind of diagnostic messages are often printed to `stderr` in Unix-
land. For example, `gcc -v` will output what it's doing to `stderr`.
This makes it much easier to use the output of the script non-
interactively: if I want to run a `.spyx` file in a shell script, I have
to manually remove the "Compiling..." line if its output to `stdout`.
I'm happy with simply removing the "Compiling..." line also.
> As well as for changing things to the 'new' print statements?
I really dislike the
{{{
print >>file
}}}
syntax in Python 2. Besides, it doesn't hurt to be more compatible with
Python 3.
> Finally, if you're going to add pyx files to those which this command
does, you should probably add a testing part to the doctest patch for that
as well...
I'm not sure, because running `.pyx` files from the command line is not
documented. The documentation suggests using `.spyx` files, not `.pyx`
files.
