By rewriting Python code into something that does not resemble Python not even remotely, you can make Python code run faster.

  Actually, it looks almost exactly the same; you just add a cdef int or long to the fibonacci for example. And using the Python scientific stack (which would likely give you all the speedups you will ever need) _is_ Python and looks like Python.

  >not resemble Python not even remotely So, I don't see where you got that from. What he did was VERY MINIMAL changes. In some cases a mere annotation.

  True. It's almost the equivalent of using Rcpp with R and saying it runs really fast.

    But at the end of the day, it does run really fast. And that's really all that matters. Rcpp is really nice too, and definitely is a win for R.

    no its not. Rcpp is cpp syntax and semantics. Look at the Numba example..its pure python with one decorator.
