Python is relatively slow compared to programming languages that

example above is orders of magnitude faster when implemented
in other language runtimes.

   What seems to be especially slow is printing many long
   lines (from a loop) into the console of IDLE.


The guy in the article has not printed anything, but you are right, printing in IDLE is slow for lonng lines, especially. The reason is, that the Tk text widget is slow if the lines are long due to inferior layout algorithms.

Gregor Cramer wrote a new implementation last year:
        https://core.tcl.tk/tips/doc/trunk/tip/466.md

It's fully backwards compatible, orders of magnitude faster in specific circumstances and will appear in Tk 8.7. Testers are most welcome. Sadly, the Tcl/Tk developer community is extremely small. The new text widget was a big fuss last year, but I haven't heard anything about it since almost a year :(
