I don't agree with completely dismissing performance just because it's

intensive applications and half a dozen ways of writing said C
extensions. I
see no excuse to let the fact that it's Python make it acceptable to
have an
application with otherwise unacceptable performance.
I guess the humor of that got lost in translation. You had to be there.
