Bridging Python to C with Cython for speed and flexibility

Due to the weather, this talk has been postponed until next month.

Join us March 14 for a presentation on code optimization by Brent Woodruff.

Python is an accessible, productive general purpose programming language. It is also interpreted and, at times, cannot match the raw speed and performance of compiled languages such as C, C++, and Fortran. This talk will demonstrate a practical and easy approach to working in Python, identifying runtime bottlenecks, and converting those hotspots to C. The end result is Python that can easily access compiled C code, allowing for the combination of the ease of Python with the speed and flexibility of C.
