Idiomatic way to do list/dict in Cython?

Question

My problem: I\'ve found that processing large data sets with raw C++ using the STL map and vector can often be considerably faster (and with lower memory footprint) than usi

Cython now has template support, and comes with declarations for some of the STL containers.

See http://docs.cython.org/src/userguide/wrapping_CPlusPlus.html#standard-library

Here's the example they give:

from libcpp.vector cimport vector

cdef vector[int] vect
cdef int i
for i in range(10):
    vect.push_back(i)
for i in range(10):
    print vect[i]
