I have finished reading all the proposals and thinking about it and I have to say I think this is going to be a great project. Can you put up a formal proposal on the google site for PSF (I haven't seen anything there yet). Your "Developing Cython for Easy NumPy Integration" is a great title, and the bulk of the text is already written. - Robert _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
