SciPy uses Cython, but it also uses other C interfaces. The most definitive statement I found in a couple minutes is here:

SciPy uses a variety of methods to generate “wrappers” around these algorithms so that they can be used in Python. Some wrappers were generated by hand coding them in C. The rest were generated using either SWIG or f2py. Some of the newer contributions to SciPy are either written entirely or wrapped with Cython.

> f2py

This is a Fortran-to-Python interface, and has some support for Python 3 so far as I can tell.
