Not using Cython. All the OpenMP I have heard of has been using C and just wrapping the code in Cython. Doing so would be a terrible experience. If you want to help make this happen let us know. As far as I know, none of the existing Cython developers have any personal interest in OpenMP for their own projects. BTW, my vote is for a more or less direct mapping of OpenMP into the Cython language first time around (through e.g. magic functions in a magic cython.openmp namespace). There's loads of features which can't be mapped directly to a single for-loop. Then, once one has some experience using OpenMP and Cython together and common patterns emerges, one can look into http://wiki.cython.org/enhancements/parallel.
