How do you make a Python loop faster?

How do you make a Python loop faster?

Programmers are always looking for ways to make their code more efficient. One way to do this is to use a faster loop. Python is a high-level programming language that is widely used by developers and software engineers. It is known for its readability and ease of use. However, one downside of Python is that its loops can be slow. This can be a problem when you need to process large amounts of data. There are several ways to make Python loops faster. One way is to use a faster looping construct, such as C. Another way is to use an optimized library, such as NumPy. Finally, you can vectorize your code, which means converting it into a format that can be run on a GPU or other parallel computing platform. By using these techniques, you can significantly speed up your Python code.

According to Vladislav Zorov, If not talking about NumPy or something, try to use list comprehension expressions where possible. Those are handled by the C code of the Python interpreter, instead of looping in Python. Basically same idea like the NumPy solution, you just don’t want code running in Python.

Example: (Python 3.0)

lst = [n for n in range(1000000)]
def loops():
newlst = []
for n in lst:
newlst.append(n * 2)
return newlst
def lstcomp():
return [n * 2 for n in lst]
from timeit import timeit
print(timeit(loops, number=100))
#18.953254899999592 seconds
print(timeit(lstcomp, number=100))
#11.669047399991541 seconds
Or Do this in Python 2.0
How do you make a Python loop faster?

Python list traversing tip:

Instead of this: for i in range(len(l)): x = l[i]

Use this for i, x in enumerate(l): …

TO keep track of indices and values inside a loop.

Twice faster, and the code looks better.

Another option is to write loops in C instead of Python. This can be done by using a Python extension module such as pyximport. By doing this, programmers can take advantage of the speed of C while still using the convenient syntax of Python.

Finally, developers can also improve the performance of their code by making use of caching. By caching values that are computed inside a loop, programmers can avoid having to recalculate them each time through the loop. By taking these steps, programmers can make their Python code more efficient and faster.

Very Important: Don’t worry about code efficiency until you find yourself needing to worry about code efficiency.

The place where you think about efficiency is within the logic of your implementations.

  • Reboot Your Router with a Python Script
    by /u/SAV_NC (Python) on May 4, 2024 at 4:22 pm

    Hello r/python, I've developed a Python script that allows you to reboot your router remotely via SSH! This script handles the countdown and checks when the router is back online after a reboot. What My Project Does: Key Features: - Automated Router Reboot: Remotely trigger a reboot of your router. - Monitoring: After sending the reboot command, the script counts down from 350 seconds and starts checking the router's status by pinging it after the first 100 seconds have passed. - Flexibility: You can pass arguments dynamically (router IP, username, password, and port) or use hardcoded values within the script. Method of Execution: To execute the script from the command line: bash python3 reboot-router.py --ip <router_ip> --username <username> --password <password> --port <port_number> Default values are set, but it's highly recommended to pass arguments to the script for security reasons. Target Audience: This script is intended for: - Tech Enthusiasts and Home Users who enjoy managing their home network setups and want a quick way to automate router management. Requirements: Required Modules and Programs: - Python 3: The script is written in Python 3. Ensure you have Python 3.6 or newer installed. - subprocess and argparse modules: These are standard libraries in Python and should be available with your Python installation. - sshpass: This utility is used for noninteractive password authentication with SSH. Install it using your package manager, e.g., sudo apt-get install sshpass for Debian/Ubuntu. Important Router Configuration: Before using this script, make sure your router is configured to: - Enable SSH Access: Ensure SSH is turned on and configured to accept password authentication. This setting is usually found under the Administration tab in your router settings. - Allow ICMP Echo (Ping) Requests: Some routers disable ICMP Echo requests by default for security. You must enable Respond ICMP Echo (ping) Request from WAN under the Firewall tab. Comparison: Unlike many GUI-based tools, this script provides a simple, lightweight command-line solution easily integrated into larger automation workflows or triggered manually without logging into the router interface. For People New to Python: If you're new to scripting or network management, be cautious about storing sensitive information like passwords directly in scripts. While hardcoded values can be used for ease and demonstration, the best practice is to pass these securely as arguments to prevent exposure. Access to the script You can access the script on my GitHub page here Feel free to use, modify, and share this script! I look forward to your feedback and enhancements! Cheers -J submitted by /u/SAV_NC [link] [comments]

  • Suggestions for python libraries to contribute to
    by /u/JimJimBerry (Python) on May 4, 2024 at 5:33 am

    Hey, python folks ! I have been coding in python for around 3 years, 2 years professionally. I have worked with asyncio, typing and other stuff that is needed to build a server. I was looking for a small but impactful enough open source core python library/application to work on. I tried cpython but it seems to be beyond my capability at the moment. As for my interests I was interested in lower level stuff as well as libraries like asyncio and celery. Any suggestions for libraries that could use a bit of help and teach me some stuff as well would be appreciated submitted by /u/JimJimBerry [link] [comments]

  • Project: Simple Interactive Python Streamlit Maps With NASA GIS Data
    by /u/jgloewen (Python) on May 3, 2024 at 10:22 am

    Python Streamlit is terrific for putting together interactive dashboards. Combined with the geopandas library, streamlit can easily display GIS data points on a map for you. Forest fires in my home province of British Columbia, Canada have been really bad recently. NASA has a terrific dataset that keeps track of forest fires by country. Can I use Streamlit to access this dataset and display a map off all the fires within a certain area (BC) for a particular time frame (2021)? And can I give the user the ability to choose a month? You bet! Let me step you through how! FREE tutorial (with code): https://johnloewen.substack.com/p/simple-interactive-python-streamlit submitted by /u/jgloewen [link] [comments]

  • typedattr: Autocompletion and typechecking for CLI script arguments, using standard argparse syntax
    by /u/gings7 (Python) on May 3, 2024 at 7:45 am

    Excited to share my pypi package typedparser I have been working on for around 1 year now. What My Project Does: It enables writing CLI scripts and create an "args" variable with autocompleted members and type checks, but still keeps the simple and universally understood syntax of the stdlib argarse module. Target Audience: For stability, I battletested it in my research projects and added automatic builds as well as 80%+ test coverage. So I believe it is pretty stable. Comparison: For typing functionality it uses the attrs package as backend. It also provides some additional features for object and dictionary manipulation. Of course there are many other CLI argument packages out there, but this one stands out in that it tries to keep the syntax of the argparse standard library as much as possible, making it easy for others to figure out what your script does. Check it out and let me know what you think. submitted by /u/gings7 [link] [comments]

  • Dash vs Reflex vs Others
    by /u/Sea_Split_1182 (Python) on May 2, 2024 at 10:56 pm

    Where can I find a decent comparison (pros and cons) of these 5 solutions? They seem to be solving the same problem, which is, afaiu, separating the frontend ‘annoyance’ from Python scripting / math. ⁠Reflex (used to be called Pynecone) https://reflex.dev ⁠Streamlit https://streamlit.io ⁠Gradio https://gradio.app ⁠Dash https://dash.plotly.com ⁠Panel https://panel.holoviz.org/ ⁠Anvil https://anvil.works/ Quarto My use case: user access the web app, choose some parameters, selects things that go or not into a model. Python returns results of my math. Needs to be somewhat eye-candy and I need to use a lot of pictures to get the user input (i.e. “which of these figures you like most? 1,2,3. User clicks on “3”, 3 is considered in the model. submitted by /u/Sea_Split_1182 [link] [comments]

  • I made a python package that can parse Excel Formula Strings into dictionary structures!
    by /u/MPGaming9000 (Python) on May 2, 2024 at 8:19 pm

    What my project does: It basically takes a formula string like you'd get from Openpyxl like "=SUM(A1:B2)" and breaks it all out into a dictionary structure for you to then navigate through, modify, and then reformat that modified structure back into an excel friendly formula string again! Target Audience: (People who modify Excel formula strings in automated spreadsheet modification scripts. Or people who need to analyze formulas in a spreadsheet to do some kind of logic based on that analysis). Disclaimer: For most people some simple regex pattern matching and str replaces would be fine to modify formulas but if you need a more structured approach to working with these strings, this package has you covered! How does it differ compared to other projects: There are libraries like Openpyxl that allow you to tokenize and translate formulas but that's currently where it ends. It doesn't allow you to systematically parse out a formula and replace those pieces and add new structures and what not into it. Currently the best you can really do is translate formulas and anything other than that would need to rely on regex string matching logic or string replacements. (Which still would be fine for most people, but this just adds another layer of organization and scalability to the format). More info about it here: https://github.com/Voltaic314/ExcelFormulaParser To install, just do: pip install ExcelFormulaParser Thank you for reading this!! Hope you guys find it useful if you're ever systematically modifying (or analyzing) spreadsheets! submitted by /u/MPGaming9000 [link] [comments]

  • Starter Code for a LLM-based AI Assistant
    by /u/2bytesgoat (Python) on May 2, 2024 at 6:52 pm

    Hey everyone 👋 TL;DR Since everyone is talking about the Humane AI Pin and the Rabbit R1, I decided to make a short 5 minute tutorial on how people can setup and customize their own little AI assistant on their machine. I've uploaded a video tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fD_SAouoOs&ab_channel=2BytesGoat And the Github code is here: https://github.com/2BYTESGOAT/AI-ASSISTANT Longer version What my project does: It's the starter code for an AI assistant that you can run locally. More precisely, it's a ChatGPT / Llama 2 agent that has access to Google Search and can get businesses nearby based on your location. The tool can be easily extended to support other APIs. Target audience: Pythoneers that are curious about LLMs and LLM related libraries. Comparison: It was inspired by projects such as the Humane AI Pin and the Rabbit R1. Though it's a inferior version to those, it serves more as a playground for people to develop their own AI assistants. submitted by /u/2bytesgoat [link] [comments]

  • k8sAI - my open-source GPT CLI tool for Kubernetes!
    by /u/Wild_Plantain528 (Python) on May 2, 2024 at 3:52 pm

    What my project does: I wanted to share an open-source project I’ve been working on called k8sAI. It’s a personal AI Kubernetes expert that can answer questions about your cluster, suggests commands, and even executes relevant kubectl commands to help diagnose and suggest fixes to your cluster, all in the CLI! Target Audience: As a relative newcomer to k8s, this tool has really streamlined my workflow. I can ask questions about my cluster, k8sAI will run kubectl commands to gather info, and then answer those question. It’s also found several issues in my cluster for me - all I’ve had to do is point it in the right direction. I’ve really enjoyed making and using this so I thought it could be useful for others. Added bonus is that you don’t need to copy and paste into ChatGPT anymore! k8sAI operates with read-only kubectl commands to make sure your cluster stays safe. All you need is an OpenAI API key and a valid kubectl config. Start chatting with k8sAI using: $ pip install k8sAI $ k8sAI chat or to fix an issue: $ k8sAI fix -p="take a look at the failing pod in the test namespace" Would love to get any feedback you guys have! Here's the repo for anyone who wants to take a look Comparison: I found a tool (k8sGPT) that I enjoyed using, but I felt it was still missing a few pieces on the chatbot side. You can't chat back and forth with k8sGPT and it doesn't suggest commands for you to execute, so I decided to make this. submitted by /u/Wild_Plantain528 [link] [comments]

  • Suggestions for a self-hosted authentication as a service?
    by /u/FlyingRaijinEX (Python) on May 2, 2024 at 7:18 am

    I have a simple backend REST API service that is serving a few ML models. I have made it "secured" by implementing an API key in order call those endpoints. I was wondering, how common it is for people to use services that can be self-hosted as their authentication/authorization. If it is common and reliable, what are the best options to go for? I've read that building your own authentication/authorization service with email verification, password reset, and social auth can be a pain. Also, did some googling and found this General - Fief. Has anyone ever tried using this? If so, how was the experience? Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/FlyingRaijinEX [link] [comments]
