Description
I feel like a section on common performance pitfalls in Python could be highly useful, not only to new Python programmers but also as a reference for intermediate programmers and up.
Potentially such a section could also include tips on how to profile and/or benchmark Python code.
Would this fit within the scope of this guide?
