Are those binaries really that huge? I just tested this locally and the binaries were larger, but imho not too big. The question is who actually cares about a few extra KB disk space taken by a binary? Am Montag, 8. Oktober 2012 20:47:45 UTC+2 schrieb Stefan van der Walt:

Fused types were actually introduced in v0.16 (http://wiki.cython.org/ReleaseNotes-0.16) so v0.17 is the second release supporting them.
The problem I see with fused types is that they generate very large binaries. As far as I know, this is also why they are not being used in SciPy currently.

In SciPy, we were looking at huge files, much longer compilation times, increased memory use, etc. Maybe you can compare these factors and see how it goes? I don't know if it can be avoided, on principle, since you basically have to generate separate functions for each type combination, which makes things explode combinatorially. Stéfan
