Cython can be pip installed -- so if you have a compiler that can compile C extensions, and you have Python, then getting Cython is trivial. I can't imagine a system with a compiler that can't pip install cython -- I suppose it's possible on an operational system, but then the user should build a wheel on a develop machine themselves. -CHB > Stefan > > _______________________________________________ > Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org > To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ > Message archived at > https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/KTWDJGHPQW7AIKDQQYV4IFHAKQZVXACL/ > Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/ > -- Christopher Barker, PhD (Chris) Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
