Pyrex 0.3.4 is now available:

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


Bug fixes:

   - Runtime crash when using * or ** args in
     a method of an extension type fixed.
	
   - Compiler crash when using default argument
     values in a method of a Python class.

Enhancements:

   - Type slots filled with functions from outside
     the extension module are now initialised dynamically,
     which should eliminate at least some of the
     "initialiser is not constant" problems experienced
     on Windows.

   - On Windows, __declspec(dllexport) is now used for
     the module init func declaration (or should be --
     I haven't tested this).


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.
