The python-rapidfuzz package contains pre-generated Cython files [1]. 

❯ find -name "*.cxx" -print -exec head -n 1 '{}' \;
./src/rapidfuzz/distance/_initialize_cpp.cxx
/* Generated by Cython 3.0.0a11 */
./src/rapidfuzz/distance/metrics_cpp.cxx
/* Generated by Cython 3.0.0a11 */
./src/rapidfuzz/fuzz_cpp.cxx
/* Generated by Cython 3.0.0a11 */
./src/rapidfuzz/process_cpp_impl.cxx
/* Generated by Cython 3.0.0a11 */
./src/rapidfuzz/utils_cpp.cxx
/* Generated by Cython 3.0.0a11 */

I only know this because I went through getting this setup for packaging it last December [2], but didn't get reviews and I didn't get around to pleading on devel to swap. I'm glad it is packaged now so I can proceed with my python-Levenshtien upgrade!

The unfortunate thing is the Cython generation requires Cython >3.0.0, which isn't packaged for Fedora yet. I did manage to patch python-rapidfuzz to successfully build and run on 0.29 version packaged in Fedora, I'll attach the patch to the ticket. It is against python-rapidfuzz 2.13.7, so should work fine with the current packaged version, but I haven't looked at the latest releases from upstream yet.
