Pyrex 0.5 is now available:

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

Some major reorganisations of code have occurred, in order
to fix some deep problems with the algorithm for allocating
temporary variables. This ought to fix a whole slew of
potential bugs caused by temp variables getting re-used
when they shouldn't.

As a bonus, temp variables are used more efficiently now,
with only the minimum number required being used in most
cases.


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

Pyrex is a new 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.
