The `py_dep` usage hasn't been needed for a long time and is not idiomatic, so remove it. Use `pure: false` in the first example for correctness. The last example was misleading, it is not possible to compile two `.pyx` files together like that. The point of the example was to show how to use C++ as the intermediate language, so limit the example to that.

title: Cython short-description: Support for Cython in Meson ...
Cython
Meson provides native support for cython programs starting with version 0.59.0. This means that you can include it as a normal language, and create targets like any other supported language:
lib = static_library(
'foo',
'foo.pyx',
)
Generally Cython is most useful when combined with the python module's extension_module method:
project('my project', 'cython')
py = import('python').find_installation(pure: false)
py.extension_module(
'foo',
'foo.pyx',
)
You can pass arguments accepted by the cython CLI script with the
cython_args argument:
py.extension_module(
'foo-bounds'
'foo.pyx',
cython_args : ['-Xboundscheck=False'],
)
C++ intermediate support
(New in 0.60.0)
An option has been added to control this, called cython_language. This can be
either 'c' or 'cpp'.
For those coming from setuptools/distutils, note that meson ignores
# distutils: inline directives in Cython source files, hence
# distutils: language = c++ has no effect. The override_options keyword
should be used instead:
project('my project', 'cython')
py.extension_module(
'foo',
'foo_cpp.pyx', # will be transpiled to C++
override_options : ['cython_language=cpp'],
)
