In the source packages/releases (i.e. on PyPI) the Cython-generated C-files are included, and thus Cython is not needed for installation.
Therefore you only need Cython if you are cloning the repository from Github.
So, adding Cython to the requires= or install_requires= options in setup() is going to pull in Cython for everyone even though they don't need it, and I am hesistant to do so.
To which list should it be added?
