I didn't really ask for the "full" code. It's rather uncommon to post code
of that size to a mailing list, especially as (fragile) part of the
message body. Next time, please consider pasting it into a web site
(pastebin or whatever), or at least *attach* it to an e-mail, so that
people can safely safe it to a file.

In this specific case, the traceback would have been enough, or at least a
hint that you are using eval():

   delay_line_C.ListModeFile.__init__ (delay_line.c:7367)
       self.reader = eval('%s(\'%s\')'%(reader,self.fname))
     File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
   NameError: name 'LstFileReader_FAST' is not defined

Cython does not currently support globals(), which is used by eval()
internally. Any reason why you pass the class name as parameter instead of
the class itself?
