Cython normally requires specifying your optimized code in a separate .pyx file (Numba is a more declarative solution without this requirement). As IPython provides a magic to hide this, we will use IPython here. However, note that if you are on plain Python, the Cython development will be a bit more cumbersome. As usual, this is available in the Chapter09/Cython_Numba.ipynb Notebook file.
