easycython 1.0.3

Because writing a setup.py each time is painful.

easycython.py is a script that will attempt to automatically convert one or more .pyx files into the corresponding compiled .pyd|.so binary modules files. Example:

$ python easycython.py myext.pyx

pip install easycython will automatically create an executable script in your Scripts/ folder, so you should be able to simply:

$ easycython myext.pyx

or even:

$ easycython *.pyx

Note that:

• Cython annotation (-a) is always-on. I find it easier to just always have the annotation available, and clean up unwanted files by other means.

• numpy is required, because all the work I do requires numpy support inside my cython extensions.

• Compiler flags -O2 -march=native are automatically passed to the compiler. I have not yet had to step through the generated C code with a debugger.

These things above could all be made optional. I’m considering using the click library for the CLI interface (hint: pull requests welcome).
