Just for the record, this Cython code runs in ~15 usecs for me: def makesum(): return <int>sum(i**2 if i%5 in (1,2,3) else -i**2 for i in range(1, 2011)) using the latest Cython 0.13pre. The "<int>" cast is required to drop the sum() into efficient C code. Without it, the code runs in 55 usecs. Stefan |
