One can pass language_level
as an option to the cythonize
-function in the setup.py
-script:
ext_modules = cythonize(
extensions,
compiler_directives={'language_level' : "3"} # or "2" or "3str"
)
Another possible syntax is
ext_modules = cythonize(extensions, language_level = "3")
The above might be more convenient than to add
#cython: language_level=3
to every pyx-file in the project, which might become necessary because since Cython 0.29 there is a warning, if the language_level
isn’t set explicitly:
/Main.py:367: FutureWarning: Cython directive ‘language_level’ not
set, using 2 for now (Py2). This will change in a later release! File:
XXXXXX.pyx
tree = Parsing.p_module(s, pxd, full_module_name)
Because language_level
is a global setting, the decorator
cimport cython
@cython.language_level("3")
def do_something():
pass
will not even be cythonized.
