--------------------
You can write algorithms in an almost Pythonic language instead of
using C. Your code will be translated into a C Python extension
module of very high efficiency.
I don't think I've ever written a C extension for
performance reasons.
I did, and I would still do it if I didn't have Pyrex by now.
However, Pyrex requires a lot of C experience for code optimization.
If Christian's PyPy offspring lets people who don't know C
write fast Python extension modules, computational scientists
will be happy.
(I've tweaked built-in objects instead. :-) I've written many
extensions to interface with existing C code though, like
UI widgets
and system calls. Does your method support this? Otherwise
Pyrex would
still be a beter tool.
I guess it's hard to beat Pyrex for that specific purpose.
However, integrating C code would be important for scientific
applications as well, so I hope Christian has thought about it.
Konrad.
