In case anyone thinks resorting to C or Fortran is cheating, they should know that CPython, the implementation, was designed for this. That is why there is a documented C-API and why the CPython devs are slow to change it. Numerical Python dates back to at least 1.3 and probably earlier. The people who wrote it were some of the first production users of Python.
