   @gtristan I tried to look into this: https://github.com/apache/buildstream/pull/1547 ports `buildstream._types` and `buildstream._utils` to use the pure-python cython syntax (The former is already in python, the latter needed some porting).
   
   Regarding mypyc, it seems to be an alternative to cython based on mypy rather than an extension for mypy to support checking cython code. We could probably try to use it instead of cython at some point but the drawback is that it can't do things you can't do in pure python (In particular, it seems `buildstream._utils` is trying to call into cpython internals to raise an exception in a thread).
