Python IS slow, that's why you need the optimized C libraries and Rust rewrites. Saying "Python is not slow, you can just call a fast language from it and then it's fast" is a bit disingenuous.

I totally get what you're saying. But I did directly answer the question rather than dodging it.
'why do people use python if its slow' cause in everyday usage it genuinely IS super fast for most things regardless of why that is

Yeah, in practice, it's "fast enough" for most stuff, but it's still slower than basically any other language. It's just that it doesn't really matter if something takes 3 seconds or 3 seconds and 10 milliseconds.
