how to replicate parts of code in python into C to execution faster?

i have prepared a project in python language ie a TEXT TO SPEECH synthesizer. Which took a total on 1500 lines of code. But there few parts of code due to which it is taking so much time to run the code, i want to replace that parts of code in C/c++ lang so that it runs faster.

So i want to know how can i run these parts of code in C++ or improve its speed in any other way??

please suggest,

You could also try effect of psyco module to your code's running time (Python 2.6 or earlier) or pypy (python JIT written in subset python). There is also C++ compiler shedskin, Windows is not supported in latest versions though.

You have a few options:

As Radomir mentioned, Cython might be a good choice: it's essentially a restricted Python with type declarations, automatically translated into C then compiled for execution.

If you want to use pure C, you can write a Python extension module using the Python C API. This is a good way to go if you need to manipulate Python data structures in your C code. Using the Python C API, you write in C, but with full access to the Python types and methods.

Or, you can write a pure C dll, then invoke it with ctypes. This is a good choice if you don't need any access to Python data structures in your C code. With this technique, your C code only deals with C types, and your Python code has to understand how to use ctypes to get at that C data.

You could write them in Cython, it's pretty easy.

Alternatively, you can try using numpy, which is already written in C and may have most of the operations you need.

You can write a Python extension module in C or C++.
