[Python-Dev] fullOfEels, assistant program for writing Python extension modules in C

[Nathaniel Smith]

You're almost certainly aware of this, but just to double check since you
don't mention it in the email: cython is also a great tool for handling
similar situations. Not quite the same since in addition to generating all
the boilerplate for you it then lets you use almost-python to actually
write the C implementations as well, and I understand that with your tool
you write the actual implementations in C. But probably also worth
considering in cases where you'd consider this tool, so wanted to make sure
it was on your radar.
