The segfaults and the general "unstability" is the reason of the Pyrex rewrite, as Pyrex automatically performs type-check, i hope the new version will be more stable. > So, can we get the pyrex code anywhere?

The current pyrex version is usable but is still very limited (no landscape, file format is still undetermined,...). Are there lots of people who really want it ? If so, i may put tarball or ask a friend for setting up a temporary cvs ? Jiba -- Pour vous desabonner envoyez un mail a [EMAIL PROTECTED]
