Investigate Cython

[pmer]

Cython is a compiler that supports almost all Python code. It has good support for calling external C libraries and runs 30% faster than CPython. If static type annotations are added, then it runs even faster.

As this can be done at any granularity in the code, Cython makes it easy to write simple Python code that is fast enough, and just tune the critical 5% of your code into maximum performance by using static C types in just the right places.

Using this at work at the moment and just read through the tutorial this week. It seems good so far.
