I agree for most applications. There are however times where
Python just isn't fast enough, and that's usually when people
write extension modules.
Writing an extension modules is probably pretty far down the
list. What usually happens is people
I think that really depends on what you are doing. For me, it is
exactly as Larry said. I prototype in Python, then profile to figure
out the slowest piece(s), and write an extension module. Personally,
I use Cython which makes the transition pretty trivial. It is this
solution (cython, that is) that convinced me to use Python over Ruby,
or some other language, when I was moving code from Matlab. I
haven't regretted it since.
