The Cython language makes writing C extensions for the Python language as easy as Python itself. Cython is a source code translator based on Pyrex, but supports more cutting edge functionality and optimizations.
The Cython language is a superset of the Python language (almost all Python code is also valid Cython code), but Cython additionally supports optional static typing to natively call C functions, operate with C++ classes and declare fast 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/C++ libraries, and for fast C modules that speed up the execution of Python code.
The newest Cython release can always be downloaded from https://cython.org/. Unpack the tarball or zip file, enter the directory, and then run:
pip install .
Note that for one-time builds, e.g. for CI/testing, on platforms that are not covered by one of the wheel packages provided on PyPI and the pure Python wheel that we provide is not used, it is substantially faster than a full source build to install an uncompiled (slower) version of Cython with:
NO_CYTHON_COMPILE=true pip install .

Bugs fixed
Assigning a Python 3.14+ .__annotate__ function to a Cython compiled function no longer evaluates annotations eagerly. Fixes a regression with @functools.wraps() in Cython 3.2.6. Patch by Jelle Zijlstra. (Github issue https://github.com/cython/cython/issues/7767)
In freethreading Python, the necessary object keep-alive while executing user code in .__dealloc__() uses a safer scheme. Patch by Yaxing Cai. (Github issue https://github.com/cython/cython/issues/7769)
The local function state used by sys.monitoring read from uninitialised memory. (Github issue https://github.com/cython/cython/issues/7774)
The .ag_running flag attribute of async generators was always false on big-endian systems.
