The notion that Python spends most of its time in its C code isn't particularly insightful. That's how interpreters traditionally work. It just raises the question of why that C code is slower than other interpreters. Personally, I don't mind Python's speed. I don't use it for runtime speed, I use it for development speed. If I need runtime speed I use C++. Lately, though, I'm getting to the point where I write Common Lisp about as quickly as Python and it typically runs 4-5x faster than Python, so I've just been using that. |
