Hi, I just starting to use weave - it seems to be the best thing since sliced bread ... First I have two questions: a) Is it possible to distribute modules using weave to other people who might NOT have a C compiler installed ?
b) when I (or someone who does not have a C compiler !) change parts of that module that should not require a recompiling of the C part - is weave smart enough to recognise this ?
Thanks, Sebastian Haase
It's my understanding that a re-compile is triggered by a mismatch to a MD5 generated on the C string that is to be compiled and the cached MD5 for the expression. This would mean that only changes to that string would force a re-compile. However, even formatting changes (even to whitespace) in the C string force a recompile.
The types of the inputs are also taken into account.
And (to be pedantic :) the version the numpy API. -- |>|\/|< /--------------------------------------------------------------------------\ |David M. Cooke http://arbutus.physics.mcmaster.ca/dmc/ |cookedm@physics.mcmaster.ca
