There are many teaching resources available for Cython, after which exposure to sharp edges may be greatly reduced. See, e.g., https://github.com/stefanv/teaching/blob/master/2014_assp_split_cython/slides/split2014_cython.pdf and accompanying problems and exercises at https://github.com/stefanv/teaching/tree/master/2014_assp_split_cython Stéfan
