## Description

High Performance Python: Practical Performant Programming for Humans [Gorelick, Micha, Ozsvald, Ian] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. High Performance Python: Practical Performant Programming for Humans

Review: Excellent book - This book is a hidden gem. It explains in-depth methods for how to profile your Python programs, how to use different compilers for python code to gain speedups, how your code gets interpreted and how it interacts with the underlying computer architecture, how to write async code and parallel code in python, how to conserve RAM and many more topics and concepts. Each one of the concepts that this book teaches had a lot of work and effort put into by the authors. Wether it's the text or the code examples, the quality is high. The book is written in a way that you can read it in a linear fashion but it can also serve as a reference once you know where everything is. The authors of this book are very talented and experienced python developers with background in data science. In addition to showing many advanced methods for making your code fast, they put a strong emphasis on when/where to use each method and the importance of profiling and benchmarking. This book is probably a better read for people with an intermediate understanding of Python, operating systems and parallel programming. It uses very interesting and high quality problems as examples (warning, they are not always easy to understand). I highly recommend this book to anyone who has been using Python for a few years and wants to take their understanding of the language to the next level.
Review: It might look old but the information is very new - This book is filled with modern knowledge on how to use python with multiprocessing and asynchronous methods. Expect to learn new information upon purchase and to keep it around long into Python 3 maturity.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All you need to know about performance and memory optimization in Python
*by V***N on May 20, 2022*

A very comprehensive book that covers the memory and performance of Python. Even though the book's title contains "performance," it also has a chapter on memory management. Book has excellent and up to the point examples.
