If this is true, the documentation on python.org needs a serious rewrite. I am in the throes of writing a C extension, and using Cython or cffi never even crossed my mind.
Sorry you missed the first two sections: "Recommended third party tools" and "Creating extensions without third party tools". https://docs.python.org/3/extending/index.html If you have any suggestions on how to make this recommendation more obvious, please open an issue and describe what would have helped.
