Abstract

Computer programs Cython numerics Programming Python Runtime scientific computing Sparse matrices Syntactics
Cython is a Python language extension that allows explicit type declarations and is compiled directly to C. As such, it addresses Python's large overhead for numerical loops and the difficulty of efficiently using existing C and Fortran code, which Cython can interact with natively.
