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