[Python-Dev] Cython as a Python implementation

Stefan,

I think your attempts to see Cython accepted as one of the major
Python implementations is misguided. It is not self-contained, it is
an add-on tool for CPython (like its ancestor PyRex).

I think Cython is incredibly useful (and I spoke to many very happy
users yesterday at UCB) but trying to present it as a separate Python
implementation is not useful.

Please stop the discussion about this topic, they are distracting.
