- The Cython language makes writing C extensions for the Python language as
- easy as Python itself. Cython is a source code translator based on Pyrex_,
- but supports more cutting edge functionality and optimizations.
-
- The Cython language is a superset of the Python language (almost all Python
- code is also valid Cython code), but Cython additionally supports optional
- static typing to natively call C functions, operate with C++ classes and
- declare fast C types on variables and class attributes. This allows the
- compiler to generate very efficient C code from Cython code.
-
- This makes Cython the ideal language for writing glue code for external
- C/C++ libraries, and for fast C modules that speed up the execution of
- Python code.
-
- Note that for one-time builds, e.g. for CI/testing, on platforms that are not
- covered by one of the wheel packages provided on PyPI, it is substantially faster
- than a full source build to install an uncompiled (slower) version of Cython with::
-
- pip install Cython --install-option="--no-cython-compile"
