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" .. _Pyrex: http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/greg.ewing/python/Pyrex/
