[Cython] Cython paper in Computing in Science & Engineering

[Dag Sverre Seljebotn]

I just wanted to make everybody aware that there's a paper on Cython in 
this month's CiSE (http://cise.aip.org/).


http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/MCSE.2010.118 (paywall)

Researchers: Please consider citing this paper if Cython helps your 
research in non-trivial ways.

[Cython] cython broken

[Lisandro Dalcin]

Since the commit below, Cython fails to compile itself. That fix
requires further work and definitely more tests. If that is impossible
right now, I would ask the guilty parties to revert the change and
continue working on this the bug tracker and repo clones. Please try
to keep cython-dev repo clean.


commit 3069c3e516fc7336b003861881623f30e168849e
Author: Haoyu Bai 
Date:   Thu Mar 31 04:19:14 2011 +0800

fix T477 by refactor FuncDefNode, so cython decorators can applied
to cdef function


See yourself:

$ git checkout 3069c3e516fc7336b003861881623f30e168849e
Note: checking out '3069c3e516fc7336b003861881623f30e168849e'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b new_branch_name

HEAD is now at 3069c3e... fix T477 by refactor FuncDefNode, so cython

Is this the canonical citation reference for Cython now?  If so, can 
this be mentioned on the Cython webpage somewhere that is prominent 
enough to be found?


Thanks,

Jason

On a related note, would it be possible to post a preprint somewhere
that isn't behind a paywall? If that's allowed, I would be delighted
to share the preprint with friends to introduce them to Cython.

Yes, I think we can post the pre-print, though I'm opposed to making
this the "canonical citation" just because of this paywall.

Agreed. Perhaps you could post the desired BibTeX citation text for
the official version and a link to the official version right next to
the preprint?

I'm investigating this. For now, please revert this. Meanwhile, I'll
try to get it fixed.

[Cython] GSoC Proposal - Reimplement C modules in CPython's standard library in Cython.

[Arthur de Souza Ribeiro]

I've wrote a proposal to the project: Reimplement C modules in CPython's
standard library in Cython.

I'd be glad if you could take a look a it and give me your feedback.

the link for the proposal is: http://wiki.cython.org/arthursribeiro

Thank you.

Best Regards

Yes, I think we can post the pre-print, though I'm opposed to making

Is this for ideological or practical reasons?

This is probably the only paper in a "real" journal for some time, and 
citations are going to boost the authors' citation counts. Nobody would 
actually look up the citation anyway simply to learn about Cython, 
they'd just Google it. So unless we're trying to hide the existence of 
the paper, I think we should make it the default citation until there's 
something better.


Next time we've got anything to share in a paper, let's do it here:

http://www.openresearchcomputation.com/

Although that wasn't around when we started writing the paper.

Posting the pre-print is a matter of making the necesarry references 
within it and formatting it.


http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/search.php?jrule=ISSN&search=1521-9615 



I'll fix it and post a link later today.
