Normally, users should not have to use (or have) Cython themselves when they want to install a Cython implemented package. Instead, the package should ship the generated C sources and do a normal extension module build by default, without running Cython at all. That avoids a build dependency and makes sure that users really get exactly what the code maintainers wanted to release and what they have properly tested before doing so. That being said, we try to keep things working for users, unless there's an actual reason to break something. I've definitely seen way worse compatibility hacks than an unused import. https://github.com/cython/cython/commit/43342ab90704f5f850733544288485048160003d Stefan _______________________________________________ cython-devel mailing list cython-devel@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel
