In the rare cases where the C compiler gives an error on Pyrex-generated
code, I've found it desirable to read the C code to diagnose the problem.
It happened to me a few times when using function pointers and casts
(IIRC). Pyrex would generate C code but gcc would choke on it.

That's when you realize that C code generated by Pyrex is not very
readable ;-P
But Pyrex is a great tool anyway.
