The Cython language makes writing C extensions for the Python language as
easy as Python itself.  Cython is a source code translator based on Pyrex_,
but supports more cutting edge functionality and optimizations.

The Cython language is a superset of the Python language (almost all Python
code is also valid Cython code), but Cython additionally supports optional
static typing to natively call C functions, operate with C++ classes and
declare fast 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/C++ libraries, and for fast C modules that speed up the execution of
Python code.

The newest Cython release can always be downloaded from https://cython.org/.
Unpack the tarball or zip file, enter the directory, and then run::

    pip install .

Note that for one-time builds, e.g. for CI/testing, on platforms that are not
covered by one of the wheel packages provided on PyPI *and* the pure Python wheel
that we provide is not used, it is substantially faster than a full source build
to install an uncompiled (slower) version of Cython with::

    NO_CYTHON_COMPILE=true pip install .

3.2.3 (2025-12-14)
==================

Features added
--------------

* The C-API declarations were updated to include the new ``PyList_*()`` functions.
  (Github issue https://github.com/cython/cython/issues/7291)

* The ``Py_mod_gil`` module setting can now be changed with a C macro, overriding
  the ``freethreading_compatible`` directive setting.
  (Github issue https://github.com/cython/cython/issues/7404)

Bugs fixed
----------

* t-strings lost the last element when compiled for the Limited API.
  (Github issue https://github.com/cython/cython/issues/7381)

* The ``array.data`` property of the ``cpython.array`` declarations generated a
  useless exception check that degraded its use in ``nogil`` code.
  (Github issue https://github.com/cython/cython/issues/7408)

* Parallel builds with the ``cythonize`` command could request more processes
  than allowed by the platform, thus failing the build.
  (Github issue https://github.com/cython/cython/issues/7384)

* A minor thread sanitizer issue was resolved.
