I'm giving an in-depth learn-from-a-core-dev Cython training at the Python Academy in Leipzig (Germany) next month, October 16-17. In two days, the course will cover everything from a Cython intro up to the point where you bring Python code to C speed and use C/C++ libraries and data types in your code.

What is Cython?

Cython is an optimising static compiler for Python that makes writing C extensions as easy as Python itself. It greatly extends the limits of the Python language and thus has found a large user base in the Scientific Computing community. It also powers various well-known extension modules in the Python package index. Cython is a great way to extend the CPython runtime with native code when performance matters.
