The above package can improve python program on 32 bit library. But I
need to run on 64 bit library. Is there any other module that can help
improving the performance of python on 64 bit?

As I understand it, Psycho isn't likely to get updated to 64-bit unless
someone decides to supply a significant amount of funding to the
developers.

If you've on a platform where compiling C is easy then I'd highly
recommending using Cython for objects that have to be high-performance:
http://cython.org/

(It generates C from slightly modified python code - I use it on various
64-bit *nix platforms)

Otherwise you could write a standard C extension.

The major native-code generation projects that I know of are Pypy and
Unladen Swallow, but neither of them are ready for use on 64-bit.

Assuming you really need something like psyco, Cython's the way to
go- but you may want to look into writing a C extension, too. I've
found in some cases that it can actually be easier than using ctypes
or Cython.

PS- a brief note, at some point this week the browser extension I use
to swap the 'reply' and 'reply to all' buttons decided to die, so if you've
gotten an offlist reply from me during that period, sorry about that.

Python is *NOT* slow, you can develop software in it much faster than
you can in some other languages. The run time speed has also been shown
to be faster in some circumstance than C because of the Bots who're
smart enough to optimise it up to the hilt.

Sorry for my earlier abrupt response, but I'm still traumatised by the
thought of England vs Germany on Sunday and maybe penalties. :)

Kindest regards.
