PyCharm 2016.2 Help

Cython Support

In this section:

    Prerequisites

    PyCharm provides initial Cython support out-of-the-box. PyCharm recognizes *.pyx, *.pxd, and *.pxi files, and allows you to edit them.

    However, if you want to compile and run *.pyx files, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:

    • Cython is downloaded and installed on your computer.
    • C compiler is downloaded and installed on your computer.

    Cython support

    Cython files are marked with icon_cython icon.

    Cython support includes:

    1. Coding assistance:
    2. Code inspections. Almost all Python code inspections work for Cython.
    3. Refactorings.
    4. Numerous ways to navigate through the source code, among them:
    5. Advanced facilities to search through the source code, in particular, finding usages.
    6. Compiling Cython modules:
      • Compilation is done using external tools. The preferred build systems (Makefile, setup.py, etc.) should be configured as external tools.
      • C compiler should be downloaded and installed on your computer.
