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 .

3.1.7 (2025-11-12)
==================

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

* Unicode characters formatted from C integers with padding, as in ``f"{value:XXc}"``,
  could result in invalid Python string objects since Cython 3.1.0.
  Also, lone surrogates failed to format in this way.
  (Github issue https://github.com/cython/cython/issues/7298)

* Assigning nested structs from a list of structs (item by item) could crash Cython.
  (Github issue https://github.com/cython/cython/issues/7308)

* Cython incorrectly called ``PyList_GetItemRef()`` in PyPy and GraalPython before Py3.13.
  (Github issue https://github.com/cython/cython/issues/7269)

* Trying to instantiate internal types used by Cython is now prohibited.
