Python has become one of the most used and taught languages nowadays. Its expressiveness, cross-compatibility and ease of use have made it popular in areas as diverse as finance, bioinformatics or machine learning. However, Python programs are often significantly slower to execute than an equivalent native C implementation, especially for computation-intensive numerical kernels.
