Dear Cython community,

it's now 20 years since Greg Ewing posted his first announcement of Pyrex, the tool that is now known and used under the name Cython.

It was a long way, and I've written up some of it in a blog post:

Today, if you're working on any kind of larger application in Python, you're likely to have some piece of code downloaded into your venv that was built with Cython. Or many of them.

I'm proud of what we have achieved. And I'm happy to see and talk to the many, many users out there whom we could help to help their users get their work done.

Happy anniversary, Cython!

Stefan



PS: The list of Cython implemented packages on PyPI is certainly incomplete, so please add the classifier to yours if it's missing. With almost 3000 dependent packages on Github (and almost 100,000 related repos), I'm sure we can crack the number of 1000 Cython built packages on PyPI as a birthday present. (No Spam, please, just honest classifiers.)
