Hello everybody ! I sent an email about this some time ago, but it got no answer and I'm still thinking about it.... It may have been sent during holydays :-)
I was wondering whether we already had (of if it would be interesting to define) some nice alias to use Cython through Sage. I was wishing for a one-liner to import a method defined in a .c file or in a library.. What about something like that : from "file.c" import "function" such a command would cpdef the function "function" defined inside of file.c, so that it can immediately be used through Sage, or if we are dealing with a library (and hence can not guess the function's signature -- but tell me if I am wrong), something like : from "file.c" import "int function(int, float, double)" Each time, it would just amount to wrap the method in a cpdef that can be called through Python... And it would mean that we can almost use C files like Python modules (of course, for as long as the types they take as argument can be obtained from Python types). I was just trying to compare the performances of the same function written in Python, Cython, or imported from a C file with such a cpdef... And found it weird that I had to create a .pyx file to use a function defined in a C file :-) Thank youuuuuuuuuuuu !!
