Overview

In this Learning Cython training course, expert author Caleb Hattingh will teach you how to create your own simple extension modules in Cython, analyze performance of Cython code, and package your Cython extension module so it can be shared with others.

You will start by learning the basics of Cython, such as how to compile Cython, add tests, and add types. From there, Caleb will teach you how to explore Cython with the Jupyter Notebook. This video tutorial will also teach you about the Cython language, such as adding types to code, exceptions and docstrings, and loops and memoryviews. You will also cover extension types, wrapping C and C++ libraries, Cython compiler directives, and concurrency. Finally, Caleb will leave you with some tips and tricks.

Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will have learned how to create your own simple extension modules in Cython, analyze the performance of Cython code, and how to package your own Cython extension module so that it can be shared with others.
