  <title>The Cython compiler for writing C extensions for the Python language</title>

  <description>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.</description>
