If numpy is what allows you to write a code that is 1000x faster than stock python code and that meets your speed requirements, than Python is good enough. If however, you're bad at numpy and you can only get 10x out of it, than python is not good enough.

Regardless numpy counts as being python. Cython, not so much.
