+The Cython language makes writing C extensions for the Python language
+as easy as Python itself. Cython is a source code translator based on
+the well-known Pyrex, but supports more cutting edge functionality and
+optimizations.
+
+The Cython language is very close to the Python language (and most
+Python code is also valid Cython code), 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 the ideal language for writing glue code for external
+C libraries, and for fast C modules that speed up the execution of
+Python code.
