Hello everyone,
on behalf of the Cython project team, I'm proud to announce the release of
our second beta of Cython 0.17. This is another major step forward in the
development of the language that will make life easier for a lot of users,
rounds up some rough edges of the compiler and adds (preliminary) support
for CPython 3.3 and PyPy.
Please give this beta release as much testing as you can, so that we can
quickly advance towards the final release.
