optimising static compiler for Python and Cython

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

Cython is an optimising static compiler for both the Python programming language and the extended Cython programming language, which makes writing C extensions for the Python language as easy as Python itself. The Cython language is very close to the Python language, 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 a language for wrapping external C libraries, and for fast C modules that speed up the execution of Python code.
