IMO it's deliberately misleading. The following three layers are spurious and have no analog on the Cython stack: Python code to provide a clean interface Handcode C++ Integer class GMP's C++ Interface A more honest comparison would list 3 layers for SWIG vs. 2 layers for Cython. I don't have a hard time believing that Cython is a better choice for fine-grained access to C/C++ code. However contrived scenarios like the above don't inspire my confidence either. I have yet to see a benchmark that reveals the claimed benefits of Cython. -- Nathan Bell [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://graphics.cs.uiuc.edu/~wnbell/ _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
