Actually,
from sage.rings.rational cimport Rational
*does* work, but you have to put it in the right place. As an illustration,
try this in the notebook:
%cython
from sage.rings.rational cimport Rational
def f(Rational c, s):
cdef Rational dummy = Rational('2/3') # just for illustrative purposes
print dummy
mpq_set_str(c.value, s, 10)
Then in the next cell put this:
c = 8/7
f(c, '5/3')
print c
