So the pure python mode seems to be working very nice for me. I was
following the documentation here:

http://wiki.cython.org/pure

However, one drawback is that I still need to use .pxd files to
declare cdef functions. Example:

@cython.locals(n=cython.int)
def fact(n):
    ...

in order for this to become a "cdef int foo()" function, I need to
have this line in foo.pxd:

cdef int fact(int n)

(And then the @cython decorator is not necessary). I'd like to have
everything in the .py file. Could that be approached by for example
something like:

@cython.locals(n=cython.int, _return=cython.int, cdef=True)
def fact(n):
    ...


?
