hi everyone
can someone suggest me where find a lot programming tricks for
achieving the top speed in python?
thanks everyone for patience

There is only one programming trick you need to know about making code run
fast.

Never even waste one second on optimising code before it is working,
or before you have tested it and profiled it and know (1) that it IS slow;
and (2) WHERE it is slow.

Why would you waste your valuable time making bugs run faster? Why waste
time and effort to speed up something that is already fast enough?

In other words: Make your code work. Make it work right. Then, and only
then, make it run fast -- and only if it isn't already fast.

Now that you have written your code, and you have made it work right,
please tell us what the code is, and the results of profiling the code,
and we will help you speed it up.

Is there a way of profiling other than manual (debug output with
measurements and all)? Some tools? And is there some kind of plugin
for native Python's IDLE to trace scripts? I'm a bit tired of getting
all info from debug output and exceptions

Have you read Chapter 9?

BTW: if you are working on M$ Windows, you might want to
consider installing the ActiveState release -- PythonWin might be nicer
than IDLE (and has the referenced manuals formatted as Windows help
files).

Already am, yes!

DLB> Have you read Chapter 9?
ok, I'm looking through. A bit tough for me I think, I can live with
debug outputs Well I'm too much used to M$ V$ / Borland Delphi
interfaces to switch to almost-asm-like debugging.

I tried, and the installer gives me that stupid Internal Error 2229:
Control, SELECT 'Control', 'Type', 'X', 'Y', [..snip..], 'Dialog' = ?
And I forgot the OK button.

I am using a *.chm file containing all online documentation available
from python.org

Ohhhhh, wow! Manuals rule, I should have at least skimmed through.
Thanks a lot, already profiling
