Some of us ran into MeatAxe before, but no one had any experience with it or knew anyone who used it, so nothing ever happened of it. I was thinking since you actually use it (and have a Cython wrapper) you would know what it's strengths/weaknesses are and whether or not it would be worth including in Sage. - Robert _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
