-Instant
--------
-
-.. index::
-   single: Instant
-
-This is a relatively new package (called pyinstant at sourceforge)
-that builds on top of SWIG to make it easy to inline C and C++ code in
-Python very much like weave. However, Instant builds extension modules
-on the fly with specific module names and specific method names. In
-this repsect it is more more like f2py in its behavior. The extension
-modules are built on-the fly (as long as the SWIG is installed). They
-can then be imported. Here is an example of using Instant with NumPy
-arrays (adapted from the test2 included in the Instant distribution):
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    code="""
-    PyObject* add(PyObject* a_, PyObject* b_){
-      /*
-      various checks
-      */
-      PyArrayObject* a=(PyArrayObject*) a_;
-      PyArrayObject* b=(PyArrayObject*) b_;
-      int n = a->dimensions[0];
-      int dims[1];
-      dims[0] = n;
-      PyArrayObject* ret;
-      ret = (PyArrayObject*) PyArray_FromDims(1, dims, NPY_DOUBLE);
-      int i;
-      char *aj=a->data;
-      char *bj=b->data;
-      double *retj = (double *)ret->data;
-      for (i=0; i < n; i++) {
-        *retj++ = *((double *)aj) + *((double *)bj);
-        aj += a->strides[0];
-        bj += b->strides[0];
-      }
-    return (PyObject *)ret;
-    }
-    """
-    import Instant, numpy
-    ext = Instant.Instant()
-    ext.create_extension(code=s, headers=["numpy/arrayobject.h"],
-                         include_dirs=[numpy.get_include()],
-                         init_code='import_array();', module="test2b_ext")
-    import test2b_ext
-    a = numpy.arange(1000)
-    b = numpy.arange(1000)
-    d = test2b_ext.add(a,b)
-
-Except perhaps for the dependence on SWIG, Instant is a
-straightforward utility for writing extension modules.
-
-
-PyInline
---------
-
-This is a much older module that allows automatic building of
-extension modules so that C-code can be included with Python code.
-It's latest release (version 0.03) was in 2001, and it appears that it
-is not being updated.
