I do not know much Cython, except for the fact that it is out there and what it is supposed to do., but wouldnt Cython need a compiler too ? I imagine distributing Cython based code would incur similar amounts of schlep. But yes, you raise a valid point. It does cause annoyances. One that I have faced is with running the same code simultaneously over a mix of 32 bit and 64 bit machines. But this is because the source code hashing function does not take the architecture into account. Shouldnt be hard to fix. _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
