Although Python is slower than C it's likely that it doesn't matter in the time scales involved here. That's why its so popular in so many people facing applications - unless you're processing arrays of numbers as fast as you can the result is the same. The funny thing I discovered the other day is that the benchmarks game rules preclude language modules in what seems like an arbitrary fashion and as a result you can't use numpy, numba or cython in the python tests. If you do, the disadvantage largely drops away. So, if you're a bit of a greeny like me these days then go for C to reduce your carbon impact (less cpu cycles == less wasted heat == less problems for the grandkids) but otherwise Python is probably just fine.
