Python automatic optimization
Hello everybody, I am using Python 2.7 as a backbone for some mathematical simulations. I recently discovered a tool called AutoFDO and I tried compiling my own Python version, but I did not manage to get it working. My question is, will sometime in the future Python include this tool? Thank you,Andrew
As far as I can tell, the feedback directed optimizations don't give much speedup on Python. There is a variety of tools for help: cython, numba, pypy, numpy etc. if you care about performance of mathematical operations.

Some Python distributions already use PGO/FDO to build the interpreter. Ubuntu does it, for example, and potentially also other Linux distributions. Also see this issue: https://bugs.python.org/issue17781 Apart from that, I concur with Maciej that FDO is most likely not the solution to your problem at hand. But that belongs on the general Python mailing list then, not the core developers mailing list. Stefan
