Princeton University Python Community Talk - ADDED

With the exponential growth of datasets and the demand for realtime analysis increasing, powerful tools like Python are frequently not fast enough to accomplish the task. Enter Cython, a powerful, lightweight tool set that allows developers to write C modules as if they were writing Python. Cython takes code written like Python, with a few extras thrown in, and compiles it into a fast C module, frequently giving an order of magnitude faster runtime. In this talk, I will discuss how to install and set up Cython, go over the basic conventions, and perform some live demonstrations that highlight the power of Cython.
