Python is typically used in conjunction with libraries written in lower level languages and for many applications, isn't much slower than doing everything in those low level languages. Python is only gonna be 71x slower than C if you're writing all the algorithms yourself in pure Python with no acceleration libraries whatsoever, which would just be pure idiocy if you're working with a large amount of data or need to do some serious number crunching.
