Well, that sounds like it could be a start. Your experience with your package would be a nice thing to have. BTW, can you remember me where it is your code?

As you noticed, chunks and carrays are both native Cython extensions, so it should be pretty easy to call them from Cython directly, avoiding the Python overhead. -- Francesc Alted _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
