I use pyrex a lot for extending and especially embedding. It's great and 
it's ease to use.

I do run a couple of regex over the generated header files to avoid 
warnings when compiling against our C++ application, but one doesn't 
need to do this.

The generated C code contains a couple of unused labels and variables 
that produce warnings when compiled, though. But that's not really a 
problem.

As I said: It's great.
