Hello, I'm wondering how to compile python to get good performance. Because when I compare this ugly code which find prime number:
# prime_number.py start=30000 for is_first in range(start): found = 0 is_first+=1 for i in range (2, is_first): if not (is_first%(i)): found = 1 break if not found: print is_first between : - the python distributed with my ubuntu #time python prime_number.py > /dev/null real 0m12.237s user 0m12.129s sys 0m0.024s - and the one compiled by my self time my_python_compiled prime_number.py > /dev/null real 0m42.193s user 0m41.891s sys 0m0.044s so which option should I give or which flag ??? regards cEd -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
