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. |
