[Cython] Array parameter...

[Magnus Lie Hetland]

Hi!

I'm writing a method of an extension class that will take an array as  
an argument (or, rather, a pointer and a size, for example). Now, I  
don't, strictly speaking, need to access this method from Python  
(i.e., it can be internal to the Cython code), but I'm writing my unit  
tests in Python, so it'd be nice... On the other hand, I'm thinking I  
wouldn't want to use list or the like as the type (in a cpdef) just to  
accomplish this, as that would, most likely, slow things down in  
actual Cython-to-Cython (or C-to-C) calls.

Is there a standard way of doing this sort of thing? My thinking is  
that I can write a simple wrapper for the Python use, which does the  
proper conversion, but I don't know if that's ideal... (It doesn't  
*have* to be an array. I just need to pass in a variable number of  
doubles in an efficient manner.)
