Docs on speeding up Python code?

[Andreas Neudecker]

Hi.

I have seen some discussions going on about making Python code faster 
and several measures looked fairly 'esoteric' to me (i.e.: you need to 
know a lot of background things to even KNOW about these possibilities).

Is there anywhere a concise Howto, article, PEP, whatever that describes 
possible measures to make Python code faster (and probably 'cleaner', 
too)? And possibly in a way, that a beginner or intermediate Python user 
can understand? ;-)

If you know of any such docs, I would be happy if you could post some links.


Regards


Andreas
