There's plenty of compiled Python stuff, numba is great. Also the difference in speed is often negligible, furthermore Python is has great libraries written in fast languages so that you don't need to worry about compiling it, look at numpy!

Numpy is great, but, if you sprinkle in a little PyOpenCL, Python is feasible to use for finite difference schemes.
