This and another problem is why I have hesitated mentioning D as a tool for writing CPython extensions in my Python workshops: the extensions are CPython specific and will not work with PyPy (or Jython but that is a whole other set of issues). What is guaranteed now is that the ctypes package works in CPython and PyPy and would seem to be the right "API" for people interested in using Python with D. If the ctypes overhead is significant to the execution then writing a native code extension is probably the wrong solution to the problem? -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
