Python C Character Types module / News: Recent posts

Its been a couple of months since 1.1 was released so I thought I might check to see if py-cctype was being picked up by google at all. It seemed that it was pretty much slim pickings for "Python ctype" the majority of hits being found not really having much to do with Python ctype implementations.

So with that I am writing this in the hope that it might be picked up by google and aid others in finding this module.

This new release adds a number of additional methods to the module. In addition the module will also only provide the ctype methods available on the system on which it is compiled. The majority of the methods are part of the C90 spec so should always be available, should they not be for any reason the module will not attempt to provide them.

The release branch 1.0 how includes the __version__ constant to enable runtime version checking of the module. The files for this release with this capability are tagged in the Files Release area as 1.0+__version__

Branched and tagged Release 1.0 of py-cctype module. This is the current working version. It is not yet know if there are any bugs present in the module or not, or if there are any optimisations which can be made to improve the module.

Please examine it, use it, improve it if you can. I would appreciate any feedback regarding the module. I am new to Python extension writing in C, so please don't curse me for any mistakes made but the module should be reasonably alright.
