Cython: error adding complex[double] to double

Question

According to libcpp/complex.pxd adding T to complex[T] is supported:

    complex[T] operator+(complex[T]&, T&)         


        

Answer 1

I've got it working. See cython ticket https://github.com/cython/cython/issues/1643

It is a combination of moving

complex[T] operator+(complex[T]&, T&) 

out of cppclass definition, changing it to

complex[T] operator+[T](complex[T]&, T&)

as suggested in the question and @DavidW's idea of cimport *
