[Cython] Pull request #374 (api mangling prefix) merged in Sage

2015-05-23 Thread Jeroen Demeyer

This has been merged in Sage's version of Cython:
https://github.com/cython/cython/pull/374

The change looks quite innocent, so I so little reason to not merge it 
in Cython master.

It's now an apache redirect. The above URL is fixes, as well as the /
to - translation for, e.g.
http://wiki.cython.org/enhancements/division

This is, however, a slippery slope.

Yes, template support certainly has a lot to be desired.

Letting arbitrary expressions be lvalues would be a major change to
the Python API...
