Cython?

[xtrafrood]

~30 lines of Python compiled into +3k lines of C.. So uh, any other GH users 'play' with Cython? Cython seems like an awesome box of the Pandora variety.

I've wanted to try writing some C extensions for Python but never had a use case really. What do you do?

[Findecanor]

I wonder, how does Cython work together with C extensions for Python? Would they have to be modified extensively?

IDK, I fed a small tkinter python script to Cython and it rendered a .c file for me to compile with gcc or mingw-w64.

Although my Cython usage is limited to this one instance, I can say my first binary output was a success.

When I execute the new tkinter script turned binary it renders a window with three buttons. From what I can tell there is no behavior difference. Which I think is interesting.

Paste the C code somewhere!

Okelydokely .  I included the original (bad) python script too.

exit_menu.py ... exit_menu.c

That is a big and scary C program  I am thinking even a simple hello world would also be similar.

Although I'd imagine collaboration with such a C program would be.. uh.. less than stellar, IIRC GUI creation requires a few more lines than the average Hello World program.
