[Pyrex] Two questions.

Hi,

    I have two questions:

1. I am trying to install a Python/Pyrex/C program that I have written 
on a 64-bit Linux
    (Gentoo) machine and am having a lot of problems with segmentation 
faults. The
    problem is clearly in the extension modules (Pyrex/C) as the Python 
portions work
    fine. The Python version is 2.5.2 and Pyrex 0.9.8.4. Any pointers 
(if any) on what to do
    in making the 32->64 bit transition would be appreciated.

2. More generally, I am interested in trying the first stable release 
version of Python 3
    when it arrives (shortly). Naively I expect that there have been 
quite a few changes
    in the C API between 2.5 and 3 so that Pyrex will have to be updated 
as well. Is there
    a time line for doing this? Would it be better to pass via 2.6 first?

   Thanks.

Cheers,

Martin.
