* Package name : cyarray Version : 1.1 Upstream Author : Cyarray Developers <pysph-...@googlegroups.com> * URL : http://github.com/pypr/cyarray * License : BSD Programming Lang: Python Description : fast, typed, resizable, Cython array Binary package names: python3-cyarray The cyarray package provides a fast, typed, re-sizable, Cython array. . It currently provides the following arrays: ``IntArray, UIntArray, LongArray, FloatArray, DoubleArray``. . All arrays provide for the following operations: . - access by indexing. - access through get/set function. - resizing the array. - appending values at the end of the array. - reserving space for future appends. - access to internal data through a numpy array. . If you are writing Cython code this is a convenient array to use as it exposes the raw underlying pointer to the data. For example if you use a ``FloatArray`` and access its ``data`` attribute it will be a ``float*``. . Each array also provides an interface to its data through a numpy array. This is done through the ``get_npy_array`` function. The returned numpy array can be used just like any other numpy array but for the following restrictions: . - the array may not be resized. - references of this array should not be kept. - slices of this array may not be made. . The numpy array may however be copied and used in any manner. -- Antonio Valentino
