This critisicm is all true, and I hope I'm wiser until the next time I propose something. To my defense it wasn't intentional, and it resulted from having gone over the details some times before on the mailing list in numerically-oriented threads which you weren't involved in. NumPy users understood what I was getting at much quicker -- but the CEP, as I presented it, definitely wasn't ready to be presented to people not familiar with NumPy, which means it wasn't ready for discussion by the Cython community at large -- we shouldn't be assuming NumPy familiarity in here. It wasn't until very late I realized you hadn't used NumPy at all -- which of course was a major mistake from my side. Apologies. -- Dag Sverre _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
