I'm thinking vala sounds like a good idea the more I hear about it... :-)

the impression its better since I don't think python compiles to

If by "better" you mean faster, leaner, and more compatible with
existing C code, yep. It literally outputs (fairly) readable
GObject/GTK-style C code just like you'd write by hand. With Python
not only is it not easily callable from C code, but it's interpreted,
and I think the PyGObject/Introspection stuff makes it go through
another layer of foreign function interface stuff (libffi I guess) to
actually call the GObject C code rather than directly through a
CPython extension (could be mistaken on this).
You might like an intro like this video:
