  -2                    use Python 2 syntax mode by default
  -3                    use Python 3 syntax mode by default
  --3str                use Python 3 syntax mode by default (deprecated alias for -3)
  -+, --cplus           Compile as C++ rather than C
  -a, --annotate        Produce a colorized HTML version of the source.
  --annotate-fullc      Produce a colorized HTML version of the source which includes entire
                        generated C/C++-code.
  -x PATTERN, --exclude PATTERN
                        exclude certain file patterns from the compilation
  -b, --build           build extension modules using distutils/setuptools
  -i, --inplace         build extension modules in place using distutils/setuptools (implies -b)
  --timeit CODESTRING   build in place, then compile+run CODESTRING as benchmark in first module's
                        namespace (implies -i)
  --setup CODESTRING    use CODESTRING as pre-benchmark setup code for --bench
  -j N, --parallel N    run builds in N parallel jobs (default: CPU count)
  -f, --force           force recompilation
  -q, --quiet           be less verbose during compilation
  --lenient             increase Python compatibility by ignoring some compile time errors
  -k, --keep-going      compile as much as possible, ignore compilation failures
  --no-docstrings       strip docstrings
  -M, --depfile         produce depfiles for the sources

Environment variables:
  CYTHON_FORCE_REGEN: if set to 1, forces cythonize to regenerate the output files regardless
        of modification times and changes.
  CYTHON_CACHE_DIR: the base directory containing Cython's caches.
  Environment variables accepted by setuptools are supported to configure the C compiler and build:
