Hi,
We (neuroimaging.scipy.org) are using numpy.distutils, and we have .pyx files that we build with Cython.
I wanted to add these in our current setup.py scripts, with something like:
def configuration(parent_package='',top_path=None): from numpy.distutils.misc_util import Configuration config = Configuration('statistics', parent_package, top_path) config.add_extension('intvol', ['intvol.pyx'], include_dirs = [np.get_include()]) return config
but of course numpy only knows about Pyrex, and returns:
error: Pyrex required for compiling 'nipy/algorithms/statistics/intvol.pyx' but notavailable
Is there a recommended way to plumb Cython into the numpy build machinery? Should I try and patch numpy distutils to use Cython if present?
Here is the monkey-patch I'm using in my project: def evil_numpy_monkey_patch(): from numpy.distutils.command import build_src import Cython import Cython.Compiler.Main build_src.Pyrex = Cython build_src.have_pyrex = True
