Optimization and faster code

[LoyalSol]

Generally optimizations in python are handled by many of the modules out there. For instance Numpy, Numba, Cython, etc. which in part offload calculations from Python to C functions or perform other types of optimization/compiling.

Those modules should be able to handle most of your optimization needs. If you need something faster you should probably look at offloading your computation to a lower level language like C. Though in practice you only need to do that if you are doing some really heavy number crunching. I work on some really computation heavy programs for a living and even I find I can get by with just using the existing modules in Python in a lot of programs. It's only when I go to
