But annotating four million lines of Python code in this way isn’t a straightforward task, here are some of the lesser-known benefits and how Dropbox accomplished the task.

For such a case, a Python program would pass in two Python int types. But even then, you’d have to be careful: those int types would need to be expressable as a 64-bit integer.

Python’s profiler, cProfile, generates reports that show which functions take up the most time in a given Python program. By default, Cython code doesn’t show up in those reports.
