I just started looking into ctypes and was a little curious on how they work. How does it compare speed wise to the regular C implementation? Will using ctypes in a python program speed it up or slow it down is basically what I am wondering. Thanks!
If speed is only concern don't use Python, PHP, Perl or other scripting language. Write whatever in C or Assembly. Since these scripting languages are fast enough to build Google, Facebook and Amazon, you will find that they are fast enough for whatever you are thinking about.
How fast are ctypes in python?
