... functions and method calls are expensive (more so than in C or Java) ... /by Guido/

Yeah, so? This is not "speedy compared to C or Java" category. :-) Did you timeit?

Shure. This orthodox code bits your with time ratio 3:4 (CPython 3.4.1) <pre class='brush: python'>def count_neighbours(grid, row, col): lo = min(col - 1, 0) return sum(sum(l[lo:col + 2]) for l in grid[min(row - 1, 0):row + 2]) - grid[row][col] </pre> Do not confuse me ;) Curiously, just this solution on short matrix (like in task examples) 20% faster. <pre class='brush: python'>def count_neighbours(grid, row, col): return sum(sum(((0,) + l)[col:col + 3]) for l in (((0,),) + grid)[row:row + 3]) - grid[row][col] </pre>

Strange orthodoxy... min(col-1,0) extracted, while min(row-1,0) not. :-) (Yes, I know why you did so, but still, not really orthodox.:) But ok, you're right. I just meant it was faster than my other solution:-), but if there are simple significantly faster solutions, this doesn't belong here.

Something else: I thought before, that penalty for func call would be less if compiled. But in PyPy ratio is even better - 3:5

Guessing performance in CPython is heavy wizardry, but guessing performance in PyPy is just pure luck. Unless you wrote that part of PyPy yourself, and even then you might be surprised. :-D

Shure. This orthodox code bits your with time ratio 2:3 (CPython 3.4.1) <pre class='brush: python'>def count_neighbours(grid, row, col): lo = min(col - 1, 0) return sum(sum(l[lo:col + 2]) for l in grid[min(row - 1, 0):row + 2]) </pre> Do not confuse me ;) Curiously, just this solution on short matrix (like in task examples) 20% faster. <pre class='brush: python'>def count_neighbours(grid, row, col): return sum(sum(((0,) + l)[col:col + 3]) for l in (((0,),) + grid)[row:row + 3]) - grid[row][col] </pre>
