The debate about whether Python is fast or slow is never-ending. It depends on what you're optimizing for: Server CPU consumption? Developer time? Maintainability? There are many factors. But if we keep our eye on pure computational speed in the Python layer, then yes, Python is slow.

#266: Refactoring your code, like magic with Sourcery

Talk Python to Me is a weekly podcast for Python developers, data scientists, and AI builders,
            hosted by developer and entrepreneur Michael Kennedy. We dive deep into the packages, tools, and people
            shaping Python, from web development and data science to AI and LLMs. If you're new to Python, you'll
            quickly learn the ins and outs of the community by hearing from its leaders. And if you've been Pythoning
            for years, you'll hear about your favorite packages and the hot new ones coming out of open source.
