Cython is an optimising static compiler for both the Python programming
|
|
language and the extended Cython programming language, which makes writing C
|
|
extensions for the Python language as easy as Python itself.
|
|
|
|
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.
