# python-Cython
|
|
|
|
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.
