Just to be clear, one of the main reasons for Cython's existence is to allow for the easy writing of CPython extension modules in a more or less Python like language which then gets compiled down to C for you (rather than you having to write the C yourself.) Another is to allow you to easily wrap C libraries in such a way as to allow you to make them accessible from CPython.
