I’ll talk about using Cython, and will give a quick overview of features, potential pitfalls and will show a few real world examples of how it can make a big difference, particularly in scientific applications.
After the talk there will be a chance to give 5 minute lightning talks – the suggested theme this time is on code performance in Python – some suggested ideas could be:
- The use of Numba to speed up code
- Multiprocessing module
If you'd like to give a brief talk, please let us know!
Refreshments will be provided, and we'll go to a nearby pub afterwards for drinks and food.
