Python is convenient and flexible, yet notably slower than other languages for raw computational speed. The Python ecosystem has compensated with tools that make crunching numbers at scale in Python ...

There is a phenomenon in the Python programming language that affects the efficiency of data representation and memory. I call it the "invisible line." This invisible line might seem innocuous at ...

You may have heard about NumPy and wondered why it seems so essential to data analysis in Python. What makes NumPy seemingly end up everywhere in statistical calculations with Python? Here are some ...

But in many cases, it doesn’t have to be an either/or proposition. Properly optimized, Python applications can run with surprising speed—perhaps not as fast as Java or C, but fast enough for web ...
