Disabling Cython ================ By default (in Linux and OSX), the join methods are implemented in Cython. In case there are any issues when invoking the Cython function, we recommend you to disable the ``__use_cython__`` flag and try invoking the function again to use the Python version of the function. Specifically, Cython usage can be disabled using the following command, >>> import py_stringsimjoin as ssj >>> ssj.__use_cython__ = False Note that the above command will disable Cython usage for all the join functions.
