Cython 3.0: Compiling Python to C, the next generation

InfoWorld | Jul 25, 2023

The Cython project compiles Python to C -- not just to make code faster, but also to wrap external C libraries easily, and make it easy to write C extensions for Python generally. Cython 3.0 is a major overhaul of the project. Learn in this video what's new about it, why it's worth upgrading your Cython code to use its features, and some pitfalls to avoid along the way. I talk more about the basics of Cython here: https://www.infoworld.com/article/3250299/what-is-cython-python-at-the-speed-of-c.html More here about the CPython limited API, and other future changes to CPython: https://www.infoworld.com/article/3694512/python-312-faster-leaner-more-future-proof.html
