Compatibility with variable annotations (PEP 526)

Hi,

when trying to compile the following code:

n: int = 10

which uses PEP 526 style variable annotation (introduced in Python 3.6.0 beta 1) we get the following result from cython 0.26.1:

Error compiling Cython file:
------------------------------------------------------------
...
n: int = 10
^
------------------------------------------------------------

test.pyx:1:1: Syntax error in simple statement list

Is this a known limitation of cython that will be resolved in near future? Our code base uses a lot of variable annotations (helps documenting the code and refactoring) and this issue prevents us from using cython without code changes.

Sorry for my late reply. Works like a charm! Thanks a lot.

Implemented in latest master. Could you please give it a try?
