Introduction

What is python3-cyarray

python3-cyarray is:

The cyarray package provides a fast, typed, re-sizable, Cython array.

It currently provides the following arrays: IntArray, UIntArray, LongArray, FloatArray, DoubleArray.

All arrays provide for the following operations:

  • access by indexing.
  • access through get/set function.
  • resizing the array.
  • appending values at the end of the array.
  • reserving space for future appends.
  • access to internal data through a numpy array.

If you are writing Cython code this is a convenient array to use as it exposes the raw underlying pointer to the data. For example if you use a FloatArray and access its data attribute it will be a float*.

Each array also provides an interface to its data through a numpy array. This is done through the get_npy_array function. The returned numpy array can be used just like any other numpy array but for the following restrictions:

  • the array may not be resized.
  • references of this array should not be kept.
  • slices of this array may not be made.

The numpy array may however be copied and used in any manner.
