Pyrex 0.7 is now available:

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

Main new features:

  * C attributes of extension types can be exposed directly
    to Python code instead of using accessor methods.

  * C functions, etc. can more easily be wrapped with
    Python objects having the same name.

There are also many other improvements and bug fixes -- see the
web page and CHANGES file for more.


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.
