Hmm, I guess the problem here is that the 0.12.x interface to type
inference is a little stupid. It's off by default, you can write
# cython: infer_types=None
to enable safe type inference, and
# cython: infer_types=True
to enable complete (potentially unsafe, including ints etc.) inference. It
only really makes sense in 0.13, where you use True/False to enable or
disable complete type inference, and safe type inference is otherwise
enabled by default.
Apart from that, it's all there in 0.12.1, and especially safe type
inference is worth testing (if only to make sure 0.13 won't break your code
when it comes out).
As discussed before, the safe mode enables type inference for all Python
object types and prefers C double values over Python's float.
