> Every single bit of Python relies on code written in C.
There's pypy, a jit python interpreter writen entirely in python, and it does not depend in C. It is also much faster than the common interpreter, cpython. Unfortunately it is still not appropriate for numerical computation, as the language itself makes working directly with numbers very cumbersome (and this was the point I wanted to make).
