In my niche corner of scientific computing it feels like Cython has largely been replaced by Numba and CFFI, or just Julia. Last I checked it still needed setup.py which is a bit of a deal breaker in 2025.
[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools", "cython"]
[tool.setuptools]
ext-modules = [
{name = "example", sources = ["example.pyx"]} # You can also specify all the usual options like language or include_dirs
]

Very interesting. I'm currently trading off whether to use Mojo or C++/pybind to accelerate simulations that combine matrix operations with fine-grained scalar calculations. I only recently learned that pybind + cppimport offers the integrated compile-on-import experience available in Mojo.

A more interesting path is to keep dbscan_inner in pure python with type annotations and then use
py2many --mojo=1 dbscan_inner.py
to translate.

Something with Noscript is causing it. I was able to load it fine, then installed noscript and it suddenly crashed
