I still get these errors even in when the return (extension) type of a
cdef function is given.  In that case the type should be known at compile
time, shouldn't it?


cdef class MyExtensionType:
    cdef attr
...

cdef MyExtensionType foo():
    return MyExtensionType()

cdef class AnotherExtType:
...
    def blah(self):
        met = foo()
        foo.attr  # Pyrex complains at runtime
