Cython
Python is capable of creating C and C++ language extensions that are compiled and interact with the Python code. Python itself is written in C, so this is a natural extension.
While Python has a lot of great features, pure speed when performing certain operations, such as numerical operations, is not its forte. This is where the C extensions come into their own as they enable low-level code to be accessed, which can be optimized and run faster than Python. Don't underestimate the possibility of creating a small, localized C extension that speeds up critical parts of the code.
Creating a C extension, however, can be difficult. The interface between Python and C is not straightforward, and the memory management required in C may be daunting unless you have significant experience of working with the C language.
If you want to dive deep into the topic and create your own C/C++ extensions, you can start by reading the official documentation at https://docs...
