Is this normal ?
Thanks
Your question, and the replies so far in this thread, have overlooked
the difference between language and implementation. Python as a
language has no inherent speed. Your question is really about CPython,
the reference and most-common implementation of the language. It
interprets virtual-machine bytecode, and so will pay a penalty for
compute-bound code.
But PyPy is another implementation of Python. It uses a JIT to produce
native code automatically, and can impressively speed up the execution
of Python programs. You should give it a try to see if it will help in
your situation.
