Concerning that, I've decided to remove the deprecation warning, and continue supporting the old syntax. This will be done in the next release; in the meantime, you can apply the following patch: http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/greg.ewing/python/Pyrex/undeprecate-for-from.patch > where the (IMHO much more obvious) cdef + > range() syntax is optimised Even in the presence of this optimisation, I don't consider that the integer for-loop syntax is entirely redundant. It concisely and clearly expresses all the possible combinations of including or excluding the lower and upper bound, together with iteration direction. This is something that I don't think is obvious at all with range() once you get beyond the simplest cases. It's for this reason -- notational clarity -- that I introduced the integer for-loop syntax, at least as much as optimisation. This is also the reason I want to simplify the syntax. The 'for i from...' version was a compromise -- I was originally thinking of it as a possible addition to Python itself, and I didn't want to do anything that would cause undue difficulties for Python's parser. But the Pyrex parser is more flexible, and it turns out not to be very difficult at all to do it the way I originally envisaged. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
