About Cython
Cython is an optimizing static compiler that allows developers to write C extensions for Python easily. It combines the power of Python and C, enabling efficient interaction with C/C++ code and enhancing performance through static type declarations.
Create efficient C extensions for Python applications using Cython.
What You Can Do
- Compile Python code to C for performance
- Integrate with C/C++ libraries
- Debug combined Python and Cython code
- Support for multi-dimensional NumPy arrays
- Run integration tests against multiple CPython versions
