Open-Source Tool Boosts Python Speed Dramatically

Python programs can be up to 60,000 times slower than programs written in other programming languages.

The University of Massachusetts Amherst team created a tool called Scalene.

Scalene uses AI to suggest ways to boost the code after finding areas where Python is wasting time and memory.
