Scientific Computing Using Cython - Best of Both Worlds!

Explore scientific computing using Cython in this 35-minute EuroPython Conference talk. Learn how Cython combines Python-like syntax with C-speed performance, making it an excellent tool for speeding up computational Python code and interfacing with native libraries. Discover the process of creating Python extensions, developing in Jupyter notebooks, mixing Python with static C types, and calling native code from Cython. Gain insights into a real-world case study of Cyvlfeat, a Cython/Python wrapper for the Computer Vision library VLFeat. Ideal for Python developers with basic C/C++ knowledge looking to enhance their scientific computing skills.
