Hello, How fast/slow is using ctypes to talk to a C lib, compared to doing it directly form Cython?
While debugging an issue using ctypes, I found myself writing code that was mixing the two methods... the Cython module was passing a pointer to my Python code, which then uses ctypes functions to talk the C lib, passing the pointer along the way, and it seems to work fine... So, my question is, when I have the option to do some interaction with the C lib in Cython or in ctypes, which should I go with? ctypes is more pythonic with its Structures concepts.. but is it really slow? would I gain from doing it the harder way, in Cython? Thanks a lot, Mohamed. _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
