Cython: [top]

Cython is a powerful, hybrid programming language that serves as a superset of Python, designed to give developers the "best of both worlds": the ease and productivity of Python with the lightning-fast performance of C and C++. By allowing users to add static type declarations to standard Python code, Cython can compile that code into highly efficient C extensions that run orders of magnitude faster than the interpreted original.

: Developers write code in .pyx files (an extended version of Python) or standard .py files using pure Python mode. cython

At its heart, Cython is an optimizing static compiler. Unlike standard Python, which is interpreted line-by-line, Cython follows a multi-step compilation process: Cython is a powerful, hybrid programming language that
