[Pyrex] ANN: Pyrex 0.9.4 - LValue Casts are Dead!

[Greg Ewing]

Pyrex 0.9.4 is now available:

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

Highlights of this version:

   No more lvalue casts
     I have redesigned the code generator to eliminate the need
     for lvalue casting. This means that Pyrex-generated code
     should now be gcc4-compatible, although I haven't tested
     this. Let me know if you find any remaining lvalue casts;
     they should be fairly easy to fix now.

   C++ compilable
     The generated code should now be compilable as either C
     or C++ without errors (although there may still be
     warnings). However, note that you can still only call
     C++ functions if they have been declared "extern C",
     even if you compile the Pyrex output as C++. I hope to
     introduce some C++ interface features soon.

   And more...
       A slew of other improvements and bug fixes have been
       made, see the CHANGES.txt file in the distribution or
       on the web page.


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

Pyrex is a 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.
