[Pyrex] Re: callback

[Bryan Weingarten]

greg,

i'm sorry, but i have to disagree with you on one point.  everyone in my 
company (since i work in a security company) would tell you that writing 
the fully qualified path to an internal machine is a security risk.  in 
addition to that, i may have a directory in my path that i wouldn't want 
hard-coded and have the public see, such as

/opt/local/greg_wears_army_boots/my_project/file.pyx

IMO,  the comments and __pyx_filenames[] should default to the 
filename.pyx and if i want to have a prefix a can set a global variable 
in the pyrex code itself or a value in setup.py.

currently, our solution is to just compile the pyx file to a c file, run 
a script that strips all commonts and __pyx_filenames of there full path 
and leaves the filename.  then compile the c file.  manually modifying 
the c file seems like a hack, but at this point, this is the only way 
i'm allowed to use pyrex.  currenly, the python extension generated by 
pyrex won't pass our QA department until the internal names are removed.

thanks,

bryan
