<p>Performance. That's why <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NumPy" rel="nofollow">NumPy</a> is so fast (<a href="http://arxiv.org/pdf/1102.1523.pdf" rel="nofollow">"The NumPy array: a structure for eﬃcient
numerical computation"</a>)</p>
What are the advantages of extending Python with C or C++?
<p>Recently I've read that we can code C/C++ and from python call those modules, I know that C/C++ is fast and strongly typed and those things but what advantages I got if I code some module and then call it from python? in what case/scenario/context it would be nice to implement this?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
