Thanks for this comment, sums up exactly my experience with python. Do you have a pointer to a larger write up of these issues? I really enjoy python, but agree with you that it isn't well suited for performance or scale necessarily. I find that people really get attached to it though and I'd like to have a good reference for them to help explain why issues like interpreter performance, GIL and typing make a difference on large projects even if not their pet ones.
