I'm looking to speed up some python code. Replacing the python interpreter with pypy was impressive. I noted that use of ctypes (in cython?), specifically declaring variables as below, was reported as giving a useful result:

cdef float myvar
cdef int i

under cython can provide a useful speed increase even if sections of code are not re-written in C. Does this also work in PyPy? From googling I keep getting pointed at ffi - but that seems to relate more to calling c-libraries rather than what I'm trying to do - seeing if there are any simple speed ups by declaring variables.

Or is it that - if I keep the code as simple as possible, PyPy is about as fast as you can get?
