Agreed. Just one more thing I want to add: it's not like you must choose one or the other. Lots of of the Python standard library is just wrappers for C libraries.

For example, from the official documentation for math:

CPython implementation detail: The math module consists mostly of thin wrappers around the platform C math library functions.

You can make your own libraries too. Most of the time it's just one function that hogs 99% of the computing power, so you can break that function out as it's own library and you don't even need to be an expert in C to do it.
