You mean http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/index.html? Uh, this is an important dependency, and the project seems not maintained anymore (no updates since 2006). Besides, its LGPL license does not seem a good choice for Cython. I was thinking in something more like: http://locklessinc.com/articles/pthreads_on_windows/ which seems simple enough (just a .h header), and it also comes with a sensible license (BSD). -- Francesc Alted _______________________________________________ cython-devel mailing list cython-devel@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel
