DOC: cython example from docs is not working in Windows

[jorisvandenbossche]

The last example in the "Enhancing performance" docs on cython (http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/dev/enhancingperf.html#more-advanced-techniques) is failing on Windows.
When I run the example I get a ValueError: Buffer dtype mismatch, expected 'Py_ssize_t' but got 'long' error:

In [18]: %timeit apply_integrate_f_wrap(df['a'].values, df['b'].values, df['N'].values)

Can you repro by running the example in ipython directly?

[jorisvandenbossche]

yes, it's due to the doc building I saw this fails on windows, but it's same if you just try out the example yourself

[jreback]

closing as stale. pls reopen if still an issue.

[jorisvandenbossche]

Yes, it still fails, but I will do a PR to fix it.
