Facts

What it does: Cython is an optimising static compiler for Python and the extended Cython language, used to write C extensions for Python.cython.org · 30 Sept 2026
Generated code: Cython translates source code into C or C++ code that can be compiled as Python extension modules.docs.cython.org · 30 Sept 2026
Static typing: Optional static type declarations can help generate more efficient C code from Python-like code.docs.cython.org · 30 Sept 2026
C and C++: Cython lets Python code call C or C++ code and supports declaring C or C++ types.cython.org · 30 Sept 2026
Debugging: Cython supports combined source-level debugging across Python, Cython and C code.cython.org · 30 Sept 2026
Data and libraries: The project describes using Cython with multidimensional NumPy arrays and integrating with existing low-level libraries and applications.cython.org · 30 Sept 2026
Installation: The documentation recommends installing Cython with pip and says some scientific Python distributions, including Anaconda and Sage, bundle it.docs.cython.org · 30 Sept 2026
Build requirement: Cython requires a C compiler; the installation guide gives compiler guidance for Linux, macOS and Windows.docs.cython.org · 30 Sept 2026
Python compatibility: The homepage says generated code compiles with major C and C++ compilers for CPython 3.8 and later, and describes PyPy support as mostly usable.cython.org · 30 Sept 2026
Experimental support: The homepage says support for the CPython Limited API and free-threading CPython is available in Cython 3.1 but considered experimental.cython.org · 30 Sept 2026
Support channels: The homepage directs users with questions to the Cython users mailing list and links a separate core developer mailing list.cython.org · 30 Sept 2026
Intended use: The project identifies wrapping external C libraries, embedding CPython in existing applications and speeding up Python code with fast C modules as use cases.cython.org · 30 Sept 2026
