[Cython] Distributing Windows binary using OpenMP / cython.parallel

I'm interested in using the Cython OpenMP extensions in pandas for
various calculations, but I'm concerned about cross-platform issues,
especially distributing built binaries of the extensions to Windows
users. Is there a clean way to bundle the relevant OpenMP DLLs in
distutils?

thanks,
Wes

As a non-Windows user I'm not quite sure, but I think users will need
to install the C runtime:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=15336
. Maybe you can ship vcomp.dll as well, no idea.

Maybe the distutils mailing list could be more helpful.

Are you using MSVC or MinGW compiler?

If you use MinGW, beware of licensing issues for the required pthreads 
library (pthreadsGC2.dll, I think it's LGPL). It is not a part of MinGW 
or GCC/GNU. So linking it statically can be a problem.

As for the MSVC compiler, IIRC the OpenMP runtime is a part of the MSVC 
runtime DLLs which the user must install anyway.

[Cython] Bug report: building an extension with --pyrex-gdb fails

Hello all,

I was trying to build a C++ extension with debugging support as
described in http://docs.cython.org/src/userguide/debugging.html, but
I got an error from the Cython compiler:

Forgot to mention: I was using the very latest Git version of Cython,

Thanks for your report, could you paste/attach the code of your
extension module?

Thanks, that was very helpful. The problem was that generator
functions apparently don't fill out a name in the symbol table. You
can try again from this branch:
https://github.com/markflorisson88/cython/commit/ed648d932f3922f77e140a6292d65f56f4899090
which will be pushed to cython's master branch later.
