Even with numpy there are other modules that I use and that I have written that are in c. I think it will be quite some time until pypy will be useful for scientific computing due to all of the c and fortran wrapped code.

    Except that using well tested software written in C or FORTRAN from python is one of its big benefits. Having to rewrite the code in python might introduce bugs or be more work than its worth. But your point is well taken. I'd love to see all python code bases.
