You should code numerically intensive tasks using NumPy arrays. If things are getting slow, chances are you are using Python for loops instead of vectorized NumPy expressions. This is the same trick you would use in e.g. Matlab for boosting performance. If things are running slow despite of having properly vectorized your code, chances are that porting to C will not make a big difference. If you need to resort to C or Fortran, it is easy to interface Python with these languages (e.g. ctypes, Pyrex, Swig, f2py, or weave). Put the offending bottleneck in a lower level language (detect it using the profiler module) and leave everything else in Python. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
