Probably is a bit orthogonal since I guess you want/need cython, but pythons builtin array.array should get you there pretty much as well.
I don't think it's orthogonal to cython -- you can access an array.array directly from within cython -- it's actually about the easiest way to get a array-like object in Cython/C (which you can then access via a memoryview, etc). Though I don't know there is a python object (i.e. pointer) option there. (nor text). -CHB
Of course it requires the C typecode (though that should not be hard to get) and does not support strings.

In my experience, it's several times faster than using a builtin list from Cython, which makes sense given that it needs to copy about 1/3 the data (no type or reference count for individual elements). Obviously, it uses 1/3 the space to store the data, too. We currently don't expose this object externally, but it could be an interesting project to adapt this code into a standalone project that could be more broadly useful.

This sounds like it could be really useful, and maybe supercise a coupl eof half-baked projects of mine. But -- what does "dynamic" mean?
- can you append to these arrays? - can it support "ragged arrrays" -- it looks like it does.
>>> L = ArrayList( [[0], [1,2], [3,4,5], [6,7,8,9]] ) >>> print(L) [[0], [1 2], [3 4 5], [6 7 8 9]] so this looks like a ragged array -- but what do you get when you do:
for row in L: print row
>>> print(L.data) [0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 is .data a regular old 1-d numpy array?
>>> L = ArrayList( np.arange(10), [3,3,4]) >>> print(L) [[0 1 2], [3 4 5], [6 7 8 9]] >>> print(L.data) [0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]
does an ArrayList act like a numpy array in other ways:
L * 5
L* some_array
in which case, how does it do broadcasting???
Thanks,
-CHB
>>> L = ArrayList(["Hello", "world", "!"]) >>> print(L[0]) 'Hello' >>> L[1] = "brave new world" >>> print(L) ['Hello', 'brave new world', '!']
