Great. Ideally, Cython would be plugable, allowing one to use a documented API and to insert new visitors at certain points in the pipeline, allowing custom transformations and utilities. This is probably best addressed and proposed in the form of a CEP. You could then add a plugin that allows users to add C++ conversion rules. Some parts of the Cython code base may have to be adapted to allow them to be pluggable without monkey-patching Cython. A start could be just inserting new visitors and overriding C++ conversions, and leave the rest to the next person that wants to do more. > Best, > > Olivier > > > _______________________________________________ > cython-devel mailing list > cython-devel@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel _______________________________________________ cython-devel mailing list cython-devel@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel
