Hi Pythraners,

Numba and parakeet are using a @jit decorator on functions to trigger
jit compilation of python function to modules. I first thought it would
be a good idea to do the same in Pythran.

After seeing

at scipy and following the cython tutorial, it appears to me that:

* users are happy with the way cython waork, and pythran is very similar
  to it

* jit typing will give a bad user experience as compilation is really
  slow

However, distutils integration, as done in cython, seems useful

any thought?

@Joker: sorry, I hope you did not go to far in the dev...
