In the Pyrex documentation you will notice several Python features
are not supported in Pyrex. These restrictions allow Python like code
to compile to C making Python API calls. But be warned, it probably
will run no faster than a python module, and maybe slower. Only the C
like portions of a Pyrex module will run faster.
