Thanks, Nikita!

I've been looking at the Cython documentation, but was not able to find it
previously, thanks!

I'm still waiting for my previous posts to show up in the
cython-users@mailing list (although I am subscribed there), but they
don't seem to show
up.

Thanks for your help!

Best regards,
Marin

Why does it take so long for a post to be approved/published on
cython-users@ ?
