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"
