1 Metadata-Version: 1.1 2 Name: Cython 3 Version: 0.20.2 4 Summary: The Cython compiler for writing C extensions for the Python language. 5 Home-page: http://www.cython.org 6 Author: Robert Bradshaw, Stefan Behnel, Dag Seljebotn, Greg Ewing, et al. 7 Author-email: cython-devel (a] python.org 8 License: UNKNOWN 9 Description: The Cython language makes writing C extensions for the Python language as 10 easy as Python itself. Cython is a source code translator based on the 11 well-known Pyrex_, but supports more cutting edge functionality and 12 optimizations. 13 14 The Cython language is very close to the Python language (and most Python 15 code is also valid Cython code), but Cython additionally supports calling C 16 functions and declaring C types on variables and class attributes. This 17 allows the compiler to generate very efficient C code from Cython code. 18 19 This makes Cython the ideal language for writing glue code for external C 20 libraries, and for fast C modules that speed up the execution of Python 21 code. 22 23 .. _Pyrex: http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/greg.ewing/python/Pyrex/ 24 25 Platform: UNKNOWN 26 Classifier: Development Status :: 5 - Production/Stable 27 Classifier: Intended Audience :: Developers 28 Classifier: License :: OSI Approved :: Apache Software License 29 Classifier: Operating System :: OS Independent 30 Classifier: Programming Language :: Python 31 Classifier: Programming Language :: Python :: 2 32 Classifier: Programming Language :: Python :: 3 33 Classifier: Programming Language :: C 34 Classifier: Programming Language :: Cython 35 Classifier: Topic :: Software Development :: Code Generators 36 Classifier: Topic :: Software Development :: Compilers 37 Classifier: Topic :: Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules 38
