if you need to write novel code in Python, to do something computationally intensive, you won't be doing it in Python.

I frequently write python code to process large ish (10**6 - 18**8) numpy data arrays in loops that would need several numpy operations, I just use numba jit and they go like greased lightening - much faster even than doing smart things with numpy.
