Summary

Overall, we installed the Cython compiler, ran the Hello World example, and took into consideration that we need to compile all code into native shared objects. We also saw how to wrap native C code to make it callable from Python. We have also seen the implicit type conversion which Cython does for us to make calling C work. In the next chapter, we will delve deeper into Cython programming with discussion on how to make Python code callable from C and manipulate native C data structures from Cython.
