The Array Interface
*******************
-.. warning::
-
- This page describes the old, deprecated array interface. Everything still
- works as described as of numpy 1.2 and on into the foreseeable future, but
- new development should target :pep:`3118` --
- :cfunc:`The Revised Buffer Protocol <PyObject_GetBuffer>`.
- :pep:`3118` was incorporated into Python 2.6 and 3.0, and is additionally
- supported by Cython__'s numpy buffer support. (See the `Cython numpy
- tutorial`__.) Cython provides a way to write code that supports the buffer
+.. note::
+
+ This page describes the numpy-specific API for accessing the contents of
+ a numpy array from other C extensions. :pep:`3118` --
+ :cfunc:`The Revised Buffer Protocol <PyObject_GetBuffer>` introduces
+ similar, standardized API to Python 2.6 and 3.0 for any extension
+ module to use. Cython__'s buffer array support
+ uses the :pep:`3118` API; see the `Cython numpy
+ tutorial`__. Cython provides a way to write code that supports the buffer
protocol with Python versions older than 2.6 because it has a
backward-compatible implementation utilizing the legacy array interface
described here.
