Could you explain a bit more why you think this is the best path to follow? Pyrex is kind of a dialect, so your extension modules would be nor python nor C, but a third language. Is this indeed easier to maintain? When you would like to use legacy C code for an extension, would you rewrite it in Cython? What are Cython's advantages compared to ctypes?
