Much easier. There is a learning curve, sure, but it unburdens you from so many pitfalls and boilerplate code that it's always worth switching. And you also get faster code as a side-effect. How's that for a tradeoff. :) Stefan (Cython core developer) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
