So, you write the hand-optimised function in plain C, declare it in Cython and call it. That's what I meant. Since Cython compiles to C code, linking against a C module is straight forward. And this still keeps you from having to write all the Python API glue code in plain C. Stefan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
