Because only one of them has a ./configure, the other only has setup.py. Its just a version of separation of concerns. Abstract the system-specifics into a c shared library and use that api from python. One might want to use it without Cython, e.g. plain CPython or boost::python Compilation is fast as there isn't that much code, but running configure checking for all kinds of signal handler quirks may be less so. Anyways just a thought. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
