Hi, I'm pleased to announce the release of Weave 0.15.0. Weave provides tools for including C/C++ code within Python code. Inlining C/C++ code within Python generally results in speedups of 1.5x to 30x over algorithms written in pure Python. Weave is the stand-alone version of the deprecated Scipy submodule scipy.weave. It is Python 2.x only, and is provided for users that need new versions of Scipy (from which the weave submodule will be removed in the future) but have existing code that still depends on scipy.weave. For new code, users are recommended to use Cython. Weave 0.15.0 is the first release of Weave as a standalone package. It is numbered 0.15.0, because it was split from Scipy after the 0.14.0 release of that package. No new functionality is included in this release compared to Scipy 0.14.0, only changes needed to make Weave a standalone package. This release requires Python 2.6 or 2.7. The source code can be found on https://github.com/scipy/weave and the release itself on PyPi: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/weave Note that the Scipy developers are not planning to make any further improvements to Weave. They may however merge pull requests and create maintenance releases for urgent issues. If someone is interested in maintaining Weave, that would be very welcome. Questions and discussions relating to Weave should be directed to the scipy-dev mailing list (see http://scipy.org/scipylib/mailing-lists.html). Cheers, Ralf
