py-bottleneck-0.8.0 unbuiltable on small machines

[josephsacco]

GCC runs out of memory while building py-bottleneck-0.8.0 on a small machine with limited RAM [old G4 PowerMac]. The problem is the two generated C files are huge:

func.c 17MB move.c 12MB

Splitting each of these up into smaller files might solve the problem. I do not know enough about Cython to try this myself so I contacted Keith Goodman, asking about the feasibility of doing this.

Keith responded [29-Jan-2014]:

"Yeah, that must be painful on smaller machines. I'm sure things could be broken down into smaller chunks. But right now I'm just doing minimal maintenance on bottleneck."
