You seem confused. It's not a matter of declaring it as
two different things at once. You declare the type of
the variable, and then assign a value to it.

There's nothing tricky about it; it's just a direct
consequence of Pyrex's type system. The section on
"Attributes" under "Extension Types" mentions the
need for such declarations, although admittedly it's
rather compressed and would be easy to miss on a
first reading. I'll think about expanding it a bit.
