Cython for All with GitHub Actions
==================================

Is Python an interpreted or compiled language? Trick question. It’s actually
both. With tools like Cython, we can take the compilation step further and
remove the interpreter loop almost entirely. Cython produces binaries much like
C++, Go, and Rust do. Now with GitHub Actions the cross-platform build and
release process can be automated for free for Open Source projects. This is an
enormous opportunity to make the Python ecosystem 20-50% faster with a single
pull request. This lightning talk will walk through a GitHub workflow that
publishes Cython-optimized wheels to PyPI. Discover how Cython can turbo-charge
your Python code and GitHub Actions can simplify your cross-platform release
process for free.
