Cython-powered replacements for popular Python functions. And more.

Cython-powered replacements for popular Python functions. And more.

cythonpowered is a library containing replacements for various Python functions, that are generated with Cython and compiled at setup, intended to provide performance gains for developers.

Some functions are drop-in replacements, others are provided to enhance certain usages of the respective functions, or have slightly different implementations.

Installation

pip install cythonpowered

Usage

Simply import the desired function and use it in your Python code.

Run cythonpowered --list to view all available functions and their Python conunterparts.
