[Cython] static type checking in Python
Hi, there's some work going on regarding static type analysis and checking of Python programs, here's the mailing list for it: https://groups.google.com/group/python-static-type-checking I think this is somewhat related to Cython. After all, they are trying to figure out static type information from source code - although apparently rather in order to find bugs than to speed things up. But the one doesn't necessarily exclude the other. Stefan ___ cython-devel mailing list cython-devel@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel
Re: [Cython] new FFI library for Python
Is it related to Common Lisp's CFFI? If not, it might be confusing to have two things with the same name, similar purposes, but not really the same thing. http://common-lisp.net/project/cffi/ On Mon, Jun 18, 2012 at 2:12 PM, Stefan Behnel wrote: > Hi, > > the PyPy folks have come up with a new FFI library (called cffi) for > CPython (and eventually PyPy, obviously). > > http://cffi.readthedocs.org/ > > It borrows from LuaJIT's FFI in that it parses C declarations at runtime. > It then builds a C extension to access the external code, i.e. it requires > a C compiler at runtime (when running in CPython). > > Just thought this might be interesting. > > Stefan > ___ > cython-devel mailing list > cython-devel@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel ___ cython-devel mailing list cython-devel@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel
