The Cython language makes writing C extensions for the Python language as 
easy as Python itself.  Cython is a source code translator based on Pyrex_, 
but supports more cutting edge functionality and optimizations. 
 
The Cython language is a superset of the Python language (almost all Python 
code is also valid Cython code), but Cython additionally supports optional 
static typing to natively call C functions, operate with C++ classes and 
declare fast 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/C++ libraries, and for fast C modules that speed up the execution of 
Python code. 
 
Note that for one-time builds, e.g. for CI/testing, on platforms that are not 
covered by one of the wheel packages provided on PyPI *and* the pure Python wheel 
that we provide is not used, it is substantially faster than a full source build 
to install an uncompiled (slower) version of Cython with:: 
 
    pip install Cython --install-option="--no-cython-compile"
