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.
