Hi, this is getting a bit out of scope for this list. I propose to move further questions about general Cython usage to he cython-users mailing list. Matěj Cepl schrieb am 08.08.2018 um 12:44:

Not sure I understand this correctly, but I think we're on the same page here: writing test code in C is cumbersome, writing test code in a mix of C and Python across different files is aweful. And making it difficult to write or even just review test code simply means that people will either waste their precious contribution time on it, or try to get around it.
I was thinking about the same when porting M2Crypto to py3k (M2Crypto is currently swig-based mix of C-code and Python). Is it even possible to make a mix of Cython, swig-based C, and Python?
As long as you take the decision at a per-module basis, sure. If you want to mix them inside of a single module, then it's either Cython+C or Swig+C, not all three. But as Antoine suggested, unless you really want an identical mapper for whole range of different languages, Swig is likely not what you should use these days.
In the end I rather stayed with plain C, because the combination seems unimaginably awful.
Probably worth expanding your imagination. :) Stefan
