BTW, I think the main reason why these are missing is that Cython development is largely driven by personal needs, and these features are rarely used in real-world Python code. Also, as a descendent of Pyrex, Cython was originally not intended to compile regular Python code, and most code that it compiles even today was written either for Pyrex or Cython specifically. That reduces the urge to get unimplemented language features done. I think generators are the most frequently requested one, though.
