Make Python Up to 150× Faster with C

Python code execution speed can be significantly improved by offloading performance-critical code to C. The guide demonstrates three practical methods for this integration: using a subprocess, leveraging the `ctypes` foreign function library, and creating a Python C extension. Using the Levenshtein Distance algorithm as a benchmark, the performance of each C-based approach is compared against a pure Python implementation. The results show that all C methods provide a substantial speedup, with the C extension method proving to be the fastest, achieving up to a 150x performance increase.
