Argh! Name collision!
Donald Knuth once remarked (I think it was him) that what matters for a program is the name, and that he'd come up with a really good name, now all he'd had to do was figure out what it should be all about. And so considering Sturla Molden's recent posting about unavailability of MSVC 9.0 (aka Visual C++ 2008) for creating Python extensions in Windows, and my unimaginative reply proposing names like pni and pynacoin for a compiler independent Python native code interface, suddenly, as if out of thin air, or perhaps out of fish pudding, the name pyni occurred to me. pyni! Pronounced like tiny! Yay! I sat down and made my first Python extension module, following the tutorial in the docs. It worked! But, wait, perhaps some other extension is already named piny? Google. url: http://code.google.com/p/pyni/, PyNI is [a] config file reader/writer. Argh! - Alf -- blog at url: http://alfps.wordpress.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
