Short answer: It might be. Long answer: There are a lot of active libraries and frameworks out their that attack common speed problems. For example numpy allows C-type speeds of execution of some numerical applications. Note its not fast if it is wrong, and Python may allow you to tune your algorithm with more ease. - Paddy. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
