Is there any docs or references for plugins written in Cython/Python3?

Are plugins truly C++ exclusive? is it possible to write a python plugin and compile into C with Cython? has anyone done this before, or could they give me any documentation or references where i might get an idea of how to get started working with such a thing? i love programming, and writing is macros is fun, but i really want to break into plugins and see what is possible there, preferably while staying in my home language, and not necessarily needing to learn C++/C to do it.

Thank you in advanced for any information you could give!
 
So far i have seen a useful scripts for character.INI backups, but nothing in the vain of writing a python plugin.
 
Some day i'll resurrect MQ2Py. using pybind11 and python3

if you dont mind, i would like to take a look at it and see what needs to be done. thank you for sharing. functional languages have always been kind of hard for me, i even struggle a bit with Go or the macro language, so being able to work in python seems really ideal. its the easy route, ill admit, but that doesnt mean its a bad route. i also noticed it is written in py2.7, would you be against me attempting to update it to 3.7 or 3.6.5?

You are more than welcome to try. I maintain the plugin well enough that it compiles but I haven’t actually used it in some time so it may be in disrepair. Hit me up on discord if you have any questions.

i will do thank you. i almost always have questions lol. i have a couple projects on my plate first, but for this, i will try to push through them, so this doesnt hit the waiting list for too long.
