 Welcome to Cython!  
-=================  
-  
-Cython is a language that makes writing C extensions for 
-the Python language as easy as Python itself.  Cython is based on the 
-well-known Pyrex, but supports more cutting edge functionality and 
-optimizations.  
-  
-The Cython language is very close to the Python language, but Cython 
-additionally supports calling C functions and declaring 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 wrapping external C libraries, and 
-for fast C modules that speed up the execution of Python code.
