Getting started with Cython

[Barrett Brister]

I am running Spyder 2.3.1, and I am attempting to run a Helloworld.pyx file to give Cython a shot. But the "Run" command--the button and F5--does not work. I know that what I'm really trying to do is get this ported into a .c file, but how? How do I get .pyx files up and running?

spyder is focused on editing, running and interacting with python code (*.py).
Although you can edit cython (which looks similar but is not python) code, *.pyx, in the editor, you should read the cython tutorials on how to compile these into python extensions and wrappers
e.g., http://docs.cython.org/src/tutorial/cython_tutorial.html#cython-hello-world
