It’s getting faster but not C fast. Its semantics mean it basically never will. You’ll always need C extensions.

Using Cython via pure Python mode seems pretty compelling if you all you need is compilation. Compilability is just the beginning though.
Cython is pretty nice, especially for wrappers around C. Julia’s ccall is honestly even better.
Numba is also really nice, and for just compiling against arrays I like it better than Cython. Neither help if you need data structures or abstractions, though.
