ANN: Weave 0.15.0 release

Show key headers only | View raw

Hi,

I'm pleased to announce the release of Weave 0.15.0. Weave provides
tools for including C/C++ code within Python code. Inlining C/C++ code
within Python generally results in speedups of 1.5x to 30x over algorithms
written in pure Python.

Weave is the stand-alone version of the deprecated Scipy submodule
scipy.weave.
It is Python 2.x only, and is provided for users that need new versions of
Scipy (from which the weave submodule will be removed in the future) but
have existing code that still depends on scipy.weave.
For new code, users are recommended to use Cython.

Weave 0.15.0 is the first release of Weave as a standalone package.  It is
numbered 0.15.0, because it was split from Scipy after the 0.14.0 release of
that package.  No new functionality is included in this release compared to
Scipy 0.14.0, only changes needed to make Weave a standalone package.

This release requires Python 2.6 or 2.7. The source code can be found on
https://github.com/scipy/weave and the release itself on PyPi:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/weave

Note that the Scipy developers are not planning to make any further
improvements
to Weave. They may however merge pull requests and create maintenance
releases for urgent issues. If someone is interested in maintaining Weave,
that would be very welcome. Questions and discussions relating to Weave
should
be directed to the scipy-dev mailing list (see
http://scipy.org/scipylib/mailing-lists.html).

Cheers,
Ralf
