It acts as a bridge between Hatch's modern build system and Cython's C extension compilation, handling the configuration and invocation of the Cython compiler as part of the standard Python package build process.\n\nThe plugin supports integration with scientific libraries (NumPy, PyArrow, Pythran) by resolving their include paths and libraries at build time. It exposes Cython compiler directives, custom compilation arguments, and macro definitions through pyproject.toml or hatch.toml configuration, eliminating the need for custom setup.py scripts. The package requires Cython, hatchling, setuptools, and typing-extensions as runtime dependencies.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building Cython extensions with Hatch. The plugin is actively maintained, has low install friction, and eliminates boilerplate setup.py code. It is not needed if you are not using Cython or are using a different build backend. Be aware that build-time dependencies (Cython, setuptools, and any library includes) must be explicitly listed in build-system.requires."},"id":"hatch-cython","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/hatch-cython","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/hatch-cython.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/hatch-cython/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-12-18","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"hatch-cython","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Cython build hooks for hatch"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":198359,"position":9734,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.0"}
