Itâ s possible with Cython, the compiler and hybrid programming language used by foundational packages such as NumPy, and prominent in projects including Pandas, h5py, and scikits-learn. In this practical guide, youâ ll learn how to use Cython to improve Pythonâ s performanceâ up to 3000xâ and to wrap C and C++ libraries in Python with ease. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Author Kurt Smith takes you through Cythonâ s capabilities, with sample code and in-depth practice exercises.
