Yes, this'd be nice to have. One difficulty with arrays is that they can't be returned by value, and so the ordinary from_py_function mechanism (which gets called recursively) would need to be adapted. (Allowing to_py_function to be optinally be called by reference instead of by value could be nice as well from a performance standpoint.) - Robert _______________________________________________ cython-devel mailing list cython-devel@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel
