Very true, but it does let me make stuff faster than my co-workers who are using C++.. without their "well python is so slow" argument from ten years ago.

It is extremely unlikely (I actually wanted to say "never" but many people were bitten for using that word) that Python will be faster than C++.

So if the hope of being fast keeps you with Python, you choose the wrong language.
