Hi all, Cython 0.18 is out of the door. This is a feature release that adds some long requested language features (const!), better Python compatibility and optimisations.
You can get it from here: http://cython.org/release/Cython-0.18.tar.gz http://cython.org/release/Cython-0.18.zip Release notes: https://github.com/cython/cython/blob/0.18/CHANGES.rst Documentation: http://docs.cython.org/ The major new features are: * A new directive ``overflowcheck`` which raises an OverflowException when arithmetic with C ints overflows. This has a modest performance penalty, but is much faster than using Python ints. * C ``const`` declarations are supported in the language. * Calls to nested Python functions are resolved at compile time. * Type inference works across nested functions. * ``py_bytes_string.decode(...)`` is optimised. * Named Unicode escapes ("\N{...}") are supported. * Python functions/classes provide the special attribute "__qualname__" as defined by PEP 3155. Have fun, Stefan _______________________________________________ cython-devel mailing list cython-devel@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel
