Pyrex 0.6 is now available: http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~greg/python/Pyrex/ There are several new features in this release: - Command line options for reporting version number, requesting a listing file and specifying the name of the generated C file. - An 'include' statement for including other Pyrex files. - Improved facilities for exporting declarations from one Pyrex file to another. - Python syntax compatibility enhancements: try-except-else, multiple statements on one line. - A __delete__ special method has been added to extension types (invoked when using del on an attribute). There is one backward-incompatible change that you should note: - C character literals now have a distinct syntax: c'X' (the automatic coercion of char * to char that Pyrex did before proved to be too error-prone and has been removed). There are also some other minor improvements and a slew of bug fixes -- see the CHANGES file for a full list. What is Pyrex? -------------- Pyrex is a new language for writing Python extension modules. It lets you freely mix operations on Python and C data, with all Python reference counting and error checking handled automatically. -- Greg Ewing, Computer Science Dept, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~greg
