I did fair amount of programming in python but never used c/c++ as mentioned below. any good tutorials for using C/C++ to optimize python codebase for performance? how widely do they use such kind of mixed coding practices?
sandip ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "D.Hering" . . . . Python is very easily extended to near C speed. The Idea that FINALLY sunk in, was that I should first program my ideas in Python WITHOUT CONCERN FOR PERFOMANCE. Then, profile the application to find the "bottlenecks" and extend those blocks of code to C or C++. Cython/ Pyrex/Sip are my preferences for python extension frameworks. . . . . -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
