Cython isn't 1) able to compile Python or 2) fast?

Hate to have to tell all my Cython code it needs to break itself because the hackernews thinks so. =P

Cython isn't able to compile all Python. It definitely can compile a large subset of Python, but certainly not all of it. I don't actually know how fast the compiled Cython is - in my (very limited) experience, if you don't provide types, it's not a massive speedup over CPython.
