Cool. > so all that remains to be done on their side > is mapping the encoded signature to their own signature configuration. Or looking into borrowing theirs? (We might want more extensibility, e.g. declaring buffer types and nogil/exception data. I assume ctypes has a signature declaration format as well, right?) - Robert _______________________________________________ cython-devel mailing list cython-devel@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel
