This lesson introduces the basics of profiling and optimising Python code. The course is designed to be accessible to Python users of all skill levels (beyond total beginner). The optimisations presented should be considered performance best practices, they are demonstrated with small programming patterns that demonstrate multiple approaches in code to achieve the same result with differing performance.
This course was originally authored by @Robadob and is now also maintained by @JostMigenda.
Releases prior to Beta, exist in the original University of Sheffield repository, which includes custom branding. Please direct issues with course content to the Carpentries Incubator repository.
