No, it's not just an existing Python, it is (at least currently) the same version of Python being built. Therefore I wrote about the bootstrapping problems when bytecode changes. Depending on Cython is better in that it breaks the bootstrapping cycle, but on the other hand the C code may need to be regenerated when the C API changes in an incompatible way.
Cython OTOH probably needs Python 2.x, which isn't that great for building Python 3. And requiring Cython for developing is not very contributor-friendly.
