OK, I'll play with random for a bit.

BTW, the original 'bug' that started this thread is due to a change in
Cython's casting behavior explained here:

http://wiki.cython.org/DifferencesFromPyrex

it's fixed with a simple extra (void *) cast as shown here:

    print 'Printing array info for ndarray at 0x%0lx'% \
          (<Py_intptr_t><void *>arr,)


I just committed that code to the bzr branch.

In summary:

1. Do you want me to obliterate the old numpy/doc/pyrex and replace it
with numpy/doc/cython? That would make it clear what the tool to use
is...

2. I'll work on random and report shortly.

Cheers,
