[SciPy-User] ANN: Weave 0.15.0 release

[srean]

Very happy to see this, I thought weave had been relegated to abandon-ware.
Although Weave did not get a lot of love I have found it very useful.

Although Cython is the recommended way these days, I have found that the
way to speed array operations in Cython is to write low level indexing code
in the tight inner loop. For me the reason to use a higher level language
is to avoid doing exactly that. Weave fit that hole perfectly. Wished it
integrated new Blitz++ release.

So, thanks.
