You should profile your application to see why it's taking so long. Maybe you just coded something in a slow way. Python is a great language, but if you don't know it well you might have programmed some parts in a way that takes orders of magnitude more time than other solutions. Even if your code reasonably optimized, you should know first why it's slow: Has the computer run out of memory and is swapping? Is the CPU at 100%? I'd recommend you ask a local python expert for some help.
