[Python-Dev] Using Cython for standard library? (original) (raw)

I think it is also a good idea to write things using pure Python syntax in Cython, so that all other Python implementations, like Jython, Pypy, IronPython can just take it and run it in pure Python mode. Pure Python syntax means that the code runs in Python unmodified, but can also be compiled with Cython. Pure Python syntax was only recently added to Cython, so I guess it should be well tested first.

What do you think?

I wait. I have never dealt with Cython, and will leave it the time to mature that its authors find necessary. When it is ready, we will see what it can do.

Regards, Martin
