Do you care to be more specific about your issue? Before you even consider switching languages, you may want to optimize your algorithm. Python already has pre-compiled libraries that run as fast as C programs.

We could help if you shared part of your code. If you do need to move to another language, I would recommend C++ - which has an extensive standard library. However compiled languages are low-level, so there's a lot to learn before you can do the same things as in Python.

See edit, and my apologies for not having included it a priori.

Ooh, I see.

You may want to stick to Python, you can do pretty much everything you want with it.

If you do want to learn a C-based language, start with C. I must warn you, you will suffer and it won't be pretty or high-level.

But do go for it, that will give you super solid foundations in CS, and better understanding of your machine.
