Is Python Slow?

YES!

But not actually.

Python is slow because it is a scripting language. When you write Python programs and run them, the source code is converted into machine instructions at runtime meaning that each and every time your code is run, the program should be re-compiled. Therefore Python programs are slow.

But what most developers do is use Python as embedded scripting languages in high performing software written by languages like C++. Most Games use Python-like Programming Languages to make scripts so that anyone can write customized instructions and customize the environment.

Python is fast to learn and write, but only slower to execute!
