extra_compile_args in Cython

Question

I want to pass some extra options to the Cython compiler by using extra_compile_args.

My setup.py:

from distut         


        

Answer 1

Use the more traditional way without cythonize to supply extra compiler options:

from distutils.core import setup
from distutils.extension import Extension
from Cython.Distutils import build_ext

setup(
  name = 'Test app',
  ext_modules=[
    Extension('test',
              sources=['test.pyx'],
              extra_compile_args=['-O3'],
              language='c++')
    ],
  cmdclass = {'build_ext': build_ext}
)
