High Performance Python Upplaga 1

Learn how to make your Python code more efficient with High Performance Python, the only book that addresses the theory and practice of Python optimization. Python can help you implement complex, mission-critical applications from scratch, but poorly optimized code can waste millions of processor cycles. This book focuses on common causes of poor performance and how to overcome them, from the algorithmic roots of code to Python-specific idioms. With High Performance Python, you will: Get practical examples to help you grasp the theory of computation and algorithms Learn specific improvements for Python by understanding the basics of optimization Attain significant increases in application performance by making simple alterations Work with iteration, imaging, strings, precedence, function calling, and math Acquire a framework for understanding programming languages in general High Performance Python gives you a practical view of theoretical computer science and optimization that most people outside of the postgraduate arena never see. This book will not only help you improve application performance, and it will make you a better programmer.
