Understand CPythonLearning Path ⋅ 9 Resources
#1
Course
Pointers and Objects in PythonLearn about Python's object model and see why pointers don't really exist in Python. You'll also cover ways to simulate pointers in Python without managing memory.
#2
Course
How Python Manages MemoryGet ready for a deep dive into the internals of Python to understand how it handles memory management. By the end of this course, you’ll know more about low-level computing, understand how Python abstracts lower-level operations, and find out about Python’s internal memory management algorithms.
#3
Tutorial
Python Timer Functions: Three Ways to Monitor Your CodeLearn how to use Python timer functions to monitor how quickly your programs are running. You'll use classes, context managers, and decorators to measure your program's running time. You'll also learn the benefits of each method and which to use given the situation.
#4
Tutorial
Profiling in Python: How to Find Performance BottlenecksLearn how to profile your Python programs using numerous tools available in the standard library, third-party libraries, as well as a powerful tool foreign to Python. Along the way, you'll learn what profiling is and cover a few related concepts.
#5
Tutorial
Your Guide to the CPython Source CodeIn this detailed Python tutorial, you'll explore the CPython source code. By following this step-by-step walkthrough, you'll take a deep dive into how the CPython compiler works and how your Python code gets executed.
#6
Tutorial
Building a Python C Extension ModuleLearn how to write Python interfaces in C. Find out how to invoke C functions from within Python and build Python C extension modules. You'll learn how to parse arguments, return values, and raise custom exceptions using the Python API.
#7
Tutorial
Python Bindings: Calling C or C++ From PythonWhat are Python bindings? Should you use ctypes, CFFI, or a different tool? In this step-by-step tutorial, you'll get an overview of some of the options you can use to call C or C++ code from Python.
#8
Course
Python mmap: Doing File I/O With Memory MappingLearn how to use Python's mmap module to improve your code's performance when you're working with files. You'll get a quick overview of the different types of memory before diving into how and why memory mapping with mmap can make your file I/O operations faster.
