Hi all, At work, I recently started playing around with mypyc[1] as a means to compile our python code to C extensions, and I'm pretty impressed so far.
Pros - write normal python code with annotations: we're already doing this! - no need for cython-specific header files that can get out of sync with the pure python version - support for dataclasses and Generics - one less tool in the toolchain: mypyc is part of mypy - opens the door to more easily converting additional modules in the future Cons - less mature than Cython - build errors are not very informative Neural - requires more detailed annotations. for example, you must annotate class attributes with ClassVar I thought it would be an interesting and relatively accessible project to try to convert the current modules that use cython over to mypyc and see how it goes. Just a thought: take it or leave it! -chad [1] https://mypyc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction.html
