Comment(by hivert):

 Hi Simon,

 A few remarks:

 - The {{{.list()}}} method is not a Python convention, it is a Sage-
 Combinat (and maybe Sage) convention. Isn't it ?

 - Since the new Cython allows it. Did you try to define an iterator (using
 yield) without relying on the list ? It could be faster.

 - Also I'm not sure using append to build the list is a good idea (due to
 possible reallocation). Si you know the list length from the beginning,
 why not allocation the list and filling it with a loop ? I'm not sure if
 it is doable optimally in Cython without using the C-API function
 {{{PyList_New}}} and the macro {{{PyList_SETITEM}}}.
