# Python performance examples

Examples on how to setup numba, cython and c-extensions for speed improvement in Python projects.

A benchmark of the different optimization approaches can be seen in the graph below. Note that the absolute runtime numbers shown may vary from machine to machine.

Note: software versions used were Python 3.8.8, Cython 0.29.23, numba 0.53.1 and Julia 1.7.3.

## Getting started

To get a copy of this repository, simply open up git bash in an empty folder and use the command:

    $ git clone https://github.com/rbaltrusch/python_performance_examples

To run a particular example, change from the root of the repository into its example folder (e.g. source/base_example), then follow the run instructions in the example's README.md file. Note that each example has a different set of dependencies that may need to be installed before running the example. These dependencies are documented in the requirements.txt file in the respective example folder.
