Speed up your Python and link it with C
Cython is a tool that can convert regular Python modules, or Python with some additional syntax, into C extension modules that can be imported from regular Python code.
This provides a significant speed improvement on most code, and additionally allows the direct use of C functions within your code.
In this talk I plan to run through three use cases for Cython and how these have helped me in projects that are either speed-sensitive or need to intermix with external C projects.
The talk should be suitable for anyone with good basic knowledge of regular Python or better -- cursory knowledge of C is useful but not needed.
