Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2003-07-30 Severity: wishlist * Package name : pyrex Version : 0.8.1 Upstream Author : Greg Ewing <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~greg/python/Pyrex/ * License : GPL Description : Compile native-code modules for Python from python-like syntax
Pyrex lets you write code that mixes Python and C data types any way you want, and compiles it into a C extension for Python. You can get very large speedups for tasks that don't need all the dynamic features of python, with very small differences in syntax and much less hassle than writing your modules from scratch in C. Pyrex was developed by Greg Ewing at the University of Canterbury, NZ Notes : this package was first created by Peter Harris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, who has not enough time to maintain it. i needed the last version, so i packaged it and made sure it was linda and lintian clean.
