[pygame] Python and Speed

[Ian Mallett]

Recently, I've been having issues in all fortes of my programming experience
where Python is no longer fast enough to fill the need adaquately.  I really
love Python and its syntax (or lack of), and all the nice modules (such as
PyGame) made for it.  Are there any plans to improve Python's speed to at
least the level of C languages?  I feel like Python is living down to its
namesake's pace...
