You might get more help on the pyrex list.

Yes, since you didn't cdef the class, it is essentially python code.
Python code cannot assign to a cdef class attribute that is not of
type 'object'

cdef does not affect visibility, IIRC, just whether the class is
compiled into an extension type or not.

This is just from memory though.  Greg would be able to give you a
better answer.
