For more Examples check the Examples and Tests.

Instead of having a pair of functions with a lot of arguments that you should provide to make it work, we have tiny functions with very few arguments that do one thing and do it as fast as possible.

FAQ

Whats the idea, inspiration, reason, etc ?.

Feel free to Fork, Clone, Download, Improve, Reimplement, Play with this Open Source. Make it 10 times faster, 10 times smaller.

This requires Cython ?.

No.

This runs on PyPy ?.

No.

This runs on Python2 ?.

I dunno. (Not supported)

How can I Install it ?.

https://github.com/juancarlospaco/faster-than-csv/releases

If you dont understand how to install it, you can just download, extract, put the files on the same folder as your *.py file and you are good to go.

How can be faster than NumPy ?.

I dunno.

How can be faster than Pandas ?.

I dunno.

Why needs 64Bit ?.

Maybe it works on 32Bit, but is not supported, integer sizes are too small, and performance can be worse.

Why needs Python 3 ?.

Maybe it works on Python 2, but is not supported, and performance can be worse, we suggest to migrate to Python3.

Can I wrap the functions on a try: except: block ?.

Functions do not have internal try: except: blocks, so you can wrap them inside try: except: blocks if you need very resilient code.

PIP fails to install or fails build the wheel ?.

Add at the end of the PIP install command:

--isolated --disable-pip-version-check --no-cache-dir --no-binary :all:

Not my Bug.

How to Build the project ?.

build.sh

How to Package the project ?.

package.sh

This requires Nimble ?.

No.

Whats the unit of measurement for speed ?.

Unmmodified raw output of Python timeit module.

Please send Pull Request to Python to improve the output of timeit.
