Hi all, I just finished reading Learning Python 3rd ed, and am doing my first Python application, which retrieves and process text and XML documents from Web. Python helped me to write the application in a few hours, I'm very happy with its productivity. But the performance is not satisfactory. I decide to optimized it in Python before trying C/C++ extensions. But I don't know Python much and have no clu to tune my program. Also, I don't know what Pythonist's preferred styles. Are there any books/documents which play the similar role for Python as 'Effective C++' does for C++?
For example, one of my friends read my program and suggest me to move the re.compile() out of a for-loop, since the regular pattern is fixed, and re.compile() is slow. I want to find more such advice, where can I find them? Thank you. Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
