Just to add, There are also Cython and Pyrex projects for writing C extensions (or Extending python) in python. They allow you to write C extensions in a python-like syntax. http://cython.org/ http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/greg.ewing/python/Pyrex/ Regards Sudharshan S Blog : http://www.sudharsh.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
