[SciPy-User] Should one NOT start with Cython first?

[Uwe Fechner]

Well, even though I like Numba, installing it is a nightmare.

I wrote a lot of code for Numba 0.11, which is not compatible to newer
versions: In newer version object oriented code (jit compiled classes)
are not longer supported.

pip install numba does not work easily, not even for the current version
of numba: You need to have a specific version of llvm and llvmlite installed
first, which is not easily available for Ubuntu 12.04, which I am using.

We had to write our own installer just to be able to continue to install
Numba 0.11, which is needed for our current code base (see:
https://bitbucket.org/ufechner/freekitesim ).
