Python applications sometimes need all the performance they can get. Think of e.g. web, REST or RPC servers. There are several ways to address this: scale up by using more processes, use Cython, use PyPy, rewrite parts in C, etc. However, there are also quite a few things that can be done directly in Python. This talk goes through a number of examples and show cases how sticking to a few idioms can easily enhance the performance of your existing applications without having to revert to more complex optimization strategies. The talk was complemented with a lightning talk titled "Pythons and Flies", which addresses a memory performance idiom and answers one of the audience questions raised in the above talk.

Python Web Installer -------------------- Installing Python packages is usually done with one of the available package installation systems, e.g. pip, easy_install, zc.buildout, or manually by running "python setup.py install" in a package distribution directory. These systems work fine as long as you have Python-only packages. For packages that contain binaries, such as Python C extensions or other platform dependent code, the situation is a lot less bright. In this talk, we present a new web installer system that we're currently developing to overcome these limitations. The system combines the dynamic Python installation interface supported by all installers ("python setup.py install"), with a web installer which automatically selects, downloads, verifies and installs the binary package for your platform.
