PyEigen 0.2 teaser

I just want to assure everyone that development of PyEigen didn't stop at the 0.1 release and I've put many hours into the next release already. I have almost finished rewriting everything using C++ templates; might as well take advantage of C++ features since Eigen requires a C++ compiler anyway. Lines of code have been cut almost in half and maintenance will be much easier in the future. Here are some of the major upcoming features (subject to change, completed features will be in bold):

• Python 3 support
• Matrix iterators
• Variable-size vectors and matrices

In other news, I just found about PyBindGen, which looks very promising compared to other binding generators, and might be worth checking out for a future version of PyEigen. Can someone speak for or against it? I'm mostly worried about performance, since I want PyEigen to be as fast as possible; after all, that's the sole reason I started the whole project.

Update (2010-03-30):
Matrix iterators done, slicing dropped (you can just convert to a list first).

Update (2010-05-03):
Quaternions and transformations postponed to the next release, variable-size matrices done.
