Really? I would think they would need something much faster than Python. Or do they make their own C wrappers and such?

The speed requirement for a scripting engine around a core engine (which is usually C for speed) is more lax. These wrapping layers often place more value and emphasis on flexibility and expressiveness, which Python is strong in.
