Building the extension module

Cython code must be translated to C

C code must be compiled

Compiled C code must be linked to Python C libraries

Result: C extension module (.so file) that can be loaded as a standard Python module

Use a setup.py script to build the extension module

from distutils.core import setup
from distutils.extension import Extension
from Cython.Distutils import build_ext

cymodule = 'wave2D_u0_loop_cy'
setup(
  name=cymodule
  ext_modules=[Extension(cymodule, [cymodule + '.pyx'],)],
  cmdclass={'build_ext': build_ext},
)

Terminal> python setup.py build_ext --inplace
