Yes, lots (compared to using Python complex objects). The are complex analogues of int, double, float, etc. > Are they declaring the numpy complex type or something else? No. They are compatible with the numpy types, but also support conversion to/from Python objects, and arithmetic. > Slightly unrelated, how are self.something variables handled?

That all depends on what self is. If self is a cdef class, it can have cdef members. - Robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
