It seems that what I advertised before as Pyrex 0.3.1 was the wrong version. The correct one should be there now!

Pyrex 0.3.1 is now available:

Some fairly major problems with the new extension types facility have been fixed.

There are also some new features:

- Default argument values, * and ** arguments are now supported in Pyrex-defined Python functions.

- External C functions with variable argument lists can be declared and called.

- Full C type declaration syntax now supported, including pointer-to-function types.

- More special methods for extension types: __delitem__, __delslice__, __getattr__, __setattr__, __delattr__

- ctypedef statement.

- String literal handling improved (triple quoted strings, escape sequences in strings should now work).

- Hex, octal and imaginary literals.

- Docstrings.

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.
