Learn to write C. The best software is written as a hybrid of multiple technologies, each serving a different purpose. Python's strengths are rapid development and succint, easy to read code. C's strengths are flexibility and machine optimization. MMX and SSE assembly code are for maximum performance in core mathematical routines.

Like I said, I prefer nice code over speed (usually). I don't like C, but I know there are times when it is better to use it.
