CHANGES: d3v11 - Sat Oct 22 2011: SpliceX is the new replacement for Splice3. it includes some new options and should be compatible with most versions of Python. see README, splicex --help, splicex --rtfm d3v11 - Sun Oct 23 2011: Added some colour enhancements to SpliceX :-). This is a useless update but i thought it was fun. Also, I trimmed down much unnecessary code. 'deshadow' bug fixed in splicex.py src d3v11 - Fri Oct 28 2011: SpliceX now compiles to machine language via Cython. see README for dependencies and installation details. SpliceX compiler flags patched. recent update did not distinguish: /usr/include/ -FROM- /usr/local/include/ Thus, if you have debian python-dev or source python-dev the ./configure script should choose the appropriate option. if the configure still failed to locate the python development files (headers) please let me know and I will correct. SpliceX can now optionally do a pure python install. This cuts down on dependencies and is useful if you just want to test, try, and/or debug. SpliceX now detects invalid arguments and prints with error message.
