[Python-Dev] FAT Python (lack of) performance (original) (raw)

I'm very interested in it.

Ruby 2.2 and PHP 7 are faster than Python 2. Python 3 is slower than Python 2. Performance is a attractive feature. Python 3 lacks it.

How can I help your work?

I hope that these API will create more optimizer projects than just fatoptimizer. For example, I expect more specialized optimizers like numba or pythran which are very efficient but more specific (ex: numeric computations) than fatoptimizer. Maybe not new optimizers, but just glue to existing static compilers (numba, pythran, cython, etc.).

My patches for PEP 509, 510 and 511 still need some love (reviews): http://bugs.python.org/issue26058 http://bugs.python.org/issue26098 http://bugs.python.org/issue26145 I'm finishing my patch adding ast.Constant. This one is less controversal, it has no impact on performance nor the Python semantics: http://bugs.python.org/issue26146 But these patches are boring C code. You may prefer to work on the funny fatoptimizer project which is written in pure Python: https://fatoptimizer.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ Victor
