That's just fine. If you are interested in the inner mechanics of the
CPython runtime, reading the source is a very good way to start getting
involved with the project.
However, many extension module authors don't care about these inner
mechanics and just use Cython instead. That keeps them from having to
learn the C-API of CPython, and from tying their code too deeply into
the CPython runtime itself.
Could you elaborate a bit? What are the pros and cons of writing an
extension module using the Cython API compared to using the CPyothon
API? In particular, how portable is it? Can I compile a module in one
and use it in the other? Don't I just tie myself to a different API, but
tie myself nonetheless?
Thank you!
