I think it is also a good idea to write things using pure Python syntax in Cython, so that all other Python implementations, like Jython, Pypy, IronPython can just take it and run it in pure Python mode. Pure Python syntax means that the code runs in Python unmodified, but can also be compiled with Cython. Pure Python syntax was only recently added to Cython, so I guess it should be well tested first. What do you think?
