It's complex relative to my goal, which was to get something working
in a day or less.  :-)

What's non portable about Pyrex?  I picked it thinking it was as
cross-platform as Python.  Not so?  Maybe I need to take another look
at ctypes.  I thought ctypes was primarily for wrapping pre-existing C
code, and Pyrex was better/easier if you wanted to write an extension
module from scratch and didn't mind it being tied to Python.

Maybe you guys need to pick up the torch for the Pyrex guys too.  :-)
