Hi guys!

I agree, just wanted to add that many iterations over trivial code benefits 
(speed-wise) tremendously from being written in C and accessed in Python, or 
at least that is my experience. :)
Guess you have to weigh it against the added complexity of having to compile
C code, maybe for mulitple platforms, etc.
