[Numpy-discussion] best way for C code wrapping

[Matthieu Brucher]

Hi,

numpy.ctypes uses ctypes to work, it consists of some additional utility
functions.

There was a discussion on this some time ago (SWIG, ctypes, ...) with David
(C.), Gaël and others.

Why translating some code to C ? Why not using f2py ?
