Installing Cython
=================
Many scientific Python distributions, such as the Enthought Python
Distribution [EPD]_, Python(x,y) [Pythonxy]_, and Sage [Sage]_, bundle
Cython and no setup is needed. Note however that if your distribution
ships a version of Cython which is too old you can still use the
instructions below to update Cython. Everything in this tutorial
should work with Cython 0.11.2 and newer, unless a footnote says
otherwise.
