Skeletal code to create exposed C, C++ Extensions for Python

Just wrote some generic handy code which I thought I'd upload. Performance boost of using C, C++ extensions in some operations is quite significant and proven. Use this code to add pre-written C, C++ code and build it in a way that it's functions are exposed as python packages.

The code has been hosted on github HERE.

Build to a shared object to access the c library as a python package.

usage:

> import helloworld

>helloworld.printhelloworld()

6 Ways for Product Managers to keep their developers happy and inspired






-















 Read it on yourstory        The concept of “Product Management” in Software Product Company involves a high volume of interaction with the technical teams. When I say that, the first thing that comes to our minds is “Duh! That’s common sense!”, but quite often we don’t do the “interaction” part in the right way.   Product Managers are the CEOs of their own products, they are responsible for the technology, operations, sales, and accounts – basically the success of their products. Hence building the correct product and getting the development effort in the right direction is imperative, and by doing that, we ensure our contribution towards creating a strong and inspiring technical team in the long run. Some key attributes which makes your role as a “Product Manager” a big hit with the technical folks can be -   Stay Calm       – Be a good listener. Don’t rush your developers into making something      without understanding the technical challenges in the current scenario and      the l...

  Define your goals    The basic definition of "mission" and "vision" of the company is critical when we've past the stage of experimenting with the startup's model and helps you prioritise better. From the  Expedia page  it looks like this: "Our Mission is to Revolutionise Travel Through the Power of Technology", in this case, it is also helping the company know that leveraging and scaling with "technology" is imperative for the company (along with operations).      Set 2-3 basic targets for the next 2-3 months (possibly 6 months)   These might be pretty standard and should align with the mission / vision of the company. If your company wants to be the #1 company in Asia for travel, these basic targets might be:    Scale to 100,000 app downloads across platforms  Increase revenue by 15%  Increase daily unique visitors to 3 times the current value           Image Source: Mind the product      Goals help define epics and create a huge back...

Image Cropping and Scaling Algorithm using linear algebra






-















  THE SCENARIO :   I had to formulate an algorithm to convert an image of some resolution - say L x M and  crop / re-size the image into a new resolution say P x R  such that I cover the maximum amount   of points/pixels from the original image .   APPLICATION :  This can be pretty much applied in a generic way to all programs and websites in need of an optimized algorithm to rescale / reduce the size of the original image in their application such as profile images in social networks etc.   THE APPROACH :   To cover the maximum amount of pixels from the original image we have to focus on cropping the image  to the target aspect ratio first and then re-scaling it to the new resolution. Hence, the problem comes down to achieving the target aspect ratio that would help me capture the maximum amount of pixels of the original image so that I end up with an image which is pretty close to what the original image should have been in the new resolution.   DETAILS :   The sig...
