I haven't. Maybe I should. I've looked at Pyrex and PyPy. I've spent quite a bit of time over the past year or so studying Haskell, which has been very educational and worthwhile, but not all that useful for my day-to-day tasks in the present state of things. I just looked up Cython and see that it's based on Pyrex. Worth knowing about, I guess; but basically I think C is evil. I may start looking into Pig Latin (http://wiki.apache.org/pig) for these large data crunching tasks. Unfortunately it is written in Java and my attitude towards Java is probably the one typical of Python programmers, if you know what I mean. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
