Importing Cython Definitions from Packaged Libraries

This cython_example package is a minimalist attempt to create and install two cython packages with a compiled dependency. The shrubbery package defines a shrubbery.Shrubbery class that the landscaping package wants to include and subclass.

Thanks to Chris Barker for pointing out the zip_safe=False arugument to unzip the code so that cython cimport will work.

This repository exists to demonstrate how to accomplish binary reuse.
