(Just like Python's own .h files -- e.g. the extensive renaming of the Unicode APIs depending on narrow/wide build) How does Cython deal with these?
Pyrex/Cython deal with it by generating C code that includes the relevant headers, so the C compiler expands all the macros, interprets the struct declarations, etc. All you need to do when writing the .pyx file is follow the same API that you would if you were writing C code to use the library.
Interesting. Then how does Pyrex/Cython typecheck your code at compile time? -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido)
