Hi,

I wanted to now if the possibility to use C++ code in scipy was discussed before ? The only C++ code lying around are for optional packages. Several people have expressed the wish to use C++, and I would like to know if there is any official policy regarding its usage.

It's fine. Try not to use non-standard STL (e.g. hash-based maps). -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco

FWIW scipy.sparse.sparsetools uses C++: http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/scipy/browser/trunk/Lib/sparse/sparsetools In order to template the numpy complex types, I subclassed them and wrote the necessary operators: http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/scipy/browser/trunk/Lib/sparse/sparsetools/c... -- Nathan Bell wnbell@gmail.com
