1. If you write it in C and make it available via Cython, then it could potentially be used by other programs. However, you have to write everything in C, which can be painful, especially adding verbosity, debugging, etc. 2. If you write in Cython the code looks nicer and it is easier to use Python features when writing the code (e.g., this can make debugging much easier in some cases). However you can't use that function easily as part of some other program. Most people who work on Sage go with 2, though sometimes people do 1. There are a number of examples of both. -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
