Philip Herron is a developer who focuses his passion toward compilers and virtual machine implementations. When he was first accepted to Google Summer of Code 2010, he used inspiration from Paul Biggar's PhD on the optimization of dynamic languages to develop a proof of the concept GCC frontend to compile Python. This project sparked his deep interest in how Python works. After completing a consecutive year on the same project in 2011, Philip applied to Cython under the Python foundation to gain a deeper appreciation of the standard Python implementation. Through this he started leveraging the advantages of Python to control the logic in systems or even add more high-level interfaces, such as embedding Flask web servers in a REST API to a system-level piece of software, without writing any C code. Philip currently works as a software consultant for Instil Software based in Northern Ireland. He develops mobile applications with embedded native code for video streaming. Instil has given him a lot of support in becoming a better engineer. He has written several tutorials for the UK-based Linux Format magazine on Python and loves to share his passion for the Python programming language.

Summary

If you've read this far, you should now be familiar with Cython to such an extent that you can embed it with C bindings and even make some of your pure Python code more efficient. I've shown you how to apply Cython against an actual open source project and even how to extend native software with a Twisted Web server! As I kept saying throughout the book, it makes C feel as though there are endless possibilities to control logic or that you can extend the system with the plethora of Python modules available. Thanks for reading.
