Cython has a `final` for preventing a class from being overridden (http://docs.cython.org/src/userguide/extension_types.html#subclassing). I don't know if Cython supports `final` methods outside of final classes. They might be more interested in implementing that feature.

+1, as a lot of Cython's power comes from allowing developers to deliberately (and selectively) *opt out* of Python's dynamic features. They even provide an annotation mode that shows how far you've progressed in rendering a section of code entirely static: http://docs.cython.org/src/quickstart/cythonize.html#determining-where-to-ad... Regards, Nick. P.S. For folks interested in learning more about that, I'd recommend Caleb Hattingh's PyCon Australia talk about using Cython to speed up and parallelise code hotspots: http://docs.cython.org/src/quickstart/cythonize.html#determining-where-to-ad... -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
