body: <p>Does embedding c++ code in python using ctypes, boost.python, etc make your python application faster?</p>
  
  <p>Suppose I am making an application in pygtk and I need some functions which need to be fast. So if I use c++ for certain tasks in my application will it be beneficial? </p>
  
  <p>And what are other options to make python code faster?</p>
