SWIG is a perfectly reasonable tool that is still used on new projects, and is a supported way of building extensions against numpy. Please stop haranguing the new guy for not knowing things that you know. This thread is about extending that support, a perfectly fine and decent thing to do. -- Robert Kern _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
