Build software that combines Pythonâ s expressivity with the performance and control of C (and C++). 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.

Author Kurt Smith takes you through Cythonâ s capabilities, with sample code and in-depth practice exercises. If youâ re just starting with Cython, or want to go deeper, youâ ll learn how this language is an essential part of any performance-oriented Python programmerâ s arsenal.

  • Use Cythonâ s static typing to speed up Python code
  • Gain hands-on experience using Cython features to boost your numeric-heavy Python
  • Create new types with Cythonâ and see how fast object-oriented programming in Python can be
  • Effectively organize Cython code into separate modules and packages without sacrificing performance
  • Use Cython to give Pythonic interfaces to C and C++ libraries
  • Optimize code with Cythonâ s runtime and compile-time profiling tools
  • Use Cythonâ s prange function to parallelize loops transparently with OpenMP
