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.

He has contributed to the Cython project as part of the 2009 Google Summer of Code, implementing the initial version of typed memoryviews and native cython arrays. He uses Cython extensively in his consulting work at Enthought, training hundreds of scientists, engineers, and researchers in Python, NumPy, Cython, and parallel and high-performance computing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"O'Reilly Media","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45384564473971,"sku":"9781491901557","price":41.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_573255d3-cb1d-42df-994e-6625b8129971.jpg?v=1787335783","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/cython-a-guide-for-python-programmers-9781491901557","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
