+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:

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:
