'helloworld.pyx' doesn't match any files
Question: I am a beginner in python and I have just got familiar with cython as well. I
am using Anaconda on Windows 64-bit. I am trying to run the "helloworld"
example as follows:

1- I build a helloworld.pyx file containing:

    
    
        print("Hello World")
    

2- I build a setup.py file containing:

    
    
       from distutils.core import setup
       from Cython.Build import cythonize
    
       setup(name='Hello world app',ext_modules=cythonize("helloworld.pyx"),)
    

But I get the following error:

    
    
       'helloworld.pyx' doesn't match any files
    

Could you please tell me what should I do now? Where should I save these two
files?


Answer: From here: <https://github.com/cython/cython/wiki/enhancements-
distutils_preprocessing>

    
    
    from distutils.core import setup
    from Cython.Build import cythonize
    
    setup(
      name = 'MyProject',
      ext_modules = cythonize(["*.pyx"]),
    )
    

Looks like cythonize accepts a list of strings, but you're providing a string.
