fastsnek - high performance looping code in Python, but terrible

You need a way to install Perl modules, I'd recommend carton so you don't sully your system with this mess:

carton install
carton exec ./fastsnek.pl

Otherwise, install the Inline::C and Inline::Python modules manually and just run ./fastsnek.pl.

This thing lets you run native code dynamically in Python, with Perl as a glue between them.

The fastsnek.pl script is just a very small amount of Perl that will provide a function to compile some C code and otherwise just drops into Python immediately.

fastsnek.py then proceeds to compile some high-performance C code, which Perl will wire up. And then it proceeds to call that C function, which will print some numbers but it will do so real fast.

I've used this kind of thing in anger, but you really shouldn't. I had my reasons, honest, I'm not mad. And even if I am, you'll never catch me anyway!
