Python to C: What’s new in Cython 3.1
One convenient way to do this automatically is to use the sys._is_gil_enabled() method to check if the macro needs to be used. A recipe like this might work: macros = [] if getattr(sys, “_is_gil_enabled”, None) and not sys._is_gil_enabled(): macros = [(“Py_GIL_DISABLED”,”1″)] ext_modules = [ Extension( “compute”, [“compute.pyx”], define_macros=macros ) ] 4. Ensure your code is […]

TypeScript 5.7 arrives with improved error reporting
Also in TypeScript 5.7 is a new compiler option, –rewriteRelativeImportExtensions. When an import path is relative and ends with a TypeScript extension (.ts, .tsx, .mts, .cts), and it is a non-declaration file, the compiler will rewrite the path to the corresponding JavaScript extension (.js, .jsx, .mjs, .cjs). This allows for writing TypeScript code that can […]
