Is there currently a constraint on the version of cython that can be used in scipy? If so, can we bump it up to the latest version (0.16)? I would like to take advantage of the fused types in a extension module that I'm working on.
The current policy is to generate the C sources and check them in too so that downstream builders don't have a dependency on Cython, only people who are actually modifying those Cython sources. So it's just a matter of making sure that scipy developers are on the same page. I have no objection. I would probably make a comment at the top of the file to specify that it requires Cython 0.16.
Is there a way to have Cython check the version at compile time (Cython -> C) from within a .pyx file? I looked through the documentation and didn't find anything. Ray Jones
