I just saw this article on osnews "Pyrex extends and speeds Python apps"
and was interested to know if anyone had any opinion about Pyrex?

It compiles Python-like modules as C, so of course, a speed increase would be experienced.

I prefer SWIG over all of the make-modules-for-Python libraries around there.

I'm still learning Python, so I hadn't heard of SWIG, but I do know that C is still used for some things and I trying to avoid having to relearn C. So I'm thinking Pyrex could be a way around this, in the short-term maybe. But is still has a low version number too, so things could change as well.
