+  The Cython language makes writing C extensions for the Python language as
+  easy as Python itself.  Cython is a source code translator based on the
+  well-known Pyrex_, but supports more cutting edge functionality and
+  optimizations.
+
+  The Cython language is very close to the Python language (and most Python
+  code is also valid Cython code), 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 writing glue code for external C
+  libraries, and for fast C modules that speed up the execution of Python
+  code.
