Please add a little test anyway. You can add it to the windows_bugs.txt file to exclude it in MSVC for now (preferably with a comment why it's excluded).

Ping! :)
A test would be helpful to get this merged.

There is test that works for me ... not sure it works everywhere. let's wait for Travis' point of view

Just a question: How do you prevent the test to use the C++ backend ?

Sorry for the silence. There is a tag no-cpp for this (had to look it up myself, found it in runtests.py).

Can this PR be merged? Having access to complex is helpful to scientific computing!

That was my original idea ...

This looks fine to me--doesn't change the default behavior and lets the user cimport rather than declare all of these methods, and the test looks fine as well. Thanks.
