One link that has helped me out is http://manatee.mojam.com/~skip/python/fastpython.html. I got a considerable performance boost on a parser that I wrote by following his suggestions (specifically doing things over and over and the use of the profiler).

Andreas> Thanks for the answers. Really a very useful document.

Like most other static pages, my fast python page:



can quickly get out-of-date, and I don't have a lot of spare time to work on
it. I'd be more than happy to set up a Wiki so the community can help
maintain it. If you think you'd contribute something (however minor) if it
was Wiki-fied, let me know.
