Re: [Pyode-user] Pyrex not needed for installation?

[German L. M. <ger...@gm...>]

Thanks for the answer Ian. However, I think the the readme is misleading: if
it says "you don't need it to install and run PyODE", in a file included in
a source package, a user would expect just that. The term "develop" can have
quite different meanings.

Best regards,
Germán
