In their own words
Cython
Cython is a free compiler for Python and the extended Cython language, used to create C extensions for Python. It translates source code into C or C++ that can be built as Python extension modules. Optional static type declarations can help produce more efficient C, while declared C and C++ types let Python code call existing C or C++ code. Cython supports source-level debugging across Python, Cython and C, and the project describes uses including wrapping external libraries, embedding CPython in applications and speeding up Python code with C modules. It can work with multidimensional NumPy arrays and integrate with low-level libraries and applications. Installation is available through pip, and some scientific Python distributions bundle it. A C compiler is required, with installation guidance for Linux, macOS and Windows. The project describes compatibility with major C and C++ compilers for CPython 3.8 and later, and characterizes PyPy support as mostly usable. Limited API and free-threading CPython support in Cython 3.1 are experimental. Cython is available under the Apache 2.0 License.
