Reading a little into http://www.diveintopython.org

Are there any comparisons to Python's speed vs other scripting languages
(Perl, Ruby, etc).

There's a comparison between several scripting languages, C(++?), and Java. Look at http://www.python.org/doc/Comparisons.html. The comparison I read had most common scripting languages running at about the same speed. Interestingly, though C code could be faster than scripting code,
the variance in speed in C code was much greater. In other words bad C code sucked worse than bad scripting code. Development time was always substantially shorter for scripting languages.
