  1. Cython is a language that makes writing C extensions for the Python
  2. language as easy as Python itself. Cython is based on the well-known
  3. Pyrex, but supports more cutting edge functionality and optimizations.
  4. The Cython language is very close to the Python language, but Cython
  5. additionally supports calling C functions and declaring C types on
  6. variables and class attributes. This allows the compiler to generate
  7. very efficient C code from Cython code.
  8. This makes Cython a language for wrapping external C libraries,
  9. and for fast C modules that speed up the execution of Python code.
