{"product_id":"9781491901557","title":"Cython","description":"Build software that combines Python's expressivity with the performance and control of C (and C++). It'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, you'll learn how to use Cython to improve Python's performance - up to 3000x -  and to wrap C and C++ libraries in Python with ease. Author Kurt Smith takes you through Cython's capabilities, with sample code and in-depth practice exercises. If you're just starting with Cython, or want to go deeper, you'll learn how this language is an essential part of any performance-oriented Python programmer's arsenal.Use Cython'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 Cython - 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 Cython's runtime and compile-time profiling tools  Use Cython's prange function to parallelize loops transparently with OpenMP","brand":"Kurt Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46811135181118,"sku":"9781491901557","price":1038.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781491901557_d15f6942-66a2-4262-a877-0cf65aaef806.jpg?v=1707494549","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781491901557","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
