+Compiler options
+----------------
+
+Compiler options can be set in the :file:`setup.py`, before calling :func:`cythonize`,
+like this::
+
+    from distutils.core import setup
+
+    from Cython.Build import cythonize
+    from Cython.Compiler import Options
+
+    Options.docstrings = False
+
+    setup(
+        name = "hello",
+        ext_modules = cythonize("lib.pyx"),
+    )
+
+Here are the options that are available:
