Sounds intriguing. I know a fair bit of C, python, Fortran. I've used f2py a bit. Do you have any good Cython tutorial you like to recommend?

For my use cases, the standard documentation and tutorials (http://docs.cython.org/index.html) have been enough.

* Install it with pip, the packages in your OS distribution may be out of date,

* Rename your numeric code module's .py file to .pyx,

* Use pyximport from the main script ( http://docs.cython.org/src/userguide/source_files_and_compil...) to have it compiled at runtime without any extra build steps, and then

* Start experimenting with adding a few "cdef"s (http://docs.cython.org/src/quickstart/cythonize.html and http://docs.cython.org/src/tutorial/numpy.html)
