Right. In my case it's rather the case that the build and distribution infra is *not* in place for my needs :-). Yes, it was definitely from the POV of power-users on HPC clusters who want to tinker with the build, not as wide reach as possible. > > We already ship low-level f2py bindings, so I don't see a reason for not > shipping Cython ones too. Well, in that case (and for the information of anybody else interested, Pauli already knows this), the fwrap-generated files from the SciPy .NET port may be a good starting point, https://github.com/enthought/scipy-refactor/blob/refactor/scipy/linalg/flapack.pyx.in Dag Sverre _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
