Pyrex 0.3 is now available:

   http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~greg/python/Pyrex/

Major new feature: EXTENSION TYPES

You can now define new built-in types in Pyrex, and
use them to wrap arbitrary C data structures. See
the Language Overview for details.

For an example, see Demos/spam.pyx in the distribution.

What is Pyrex?
--------------

Pyrex is a new language for writing Python extension modules.
It lets you freely mix operations on Python and C data, with
all Python reference counting and error checking handled
automatically.
