I agree with your assessment :-) The latter is not a property of Python; a programming language doesn't have runtime performance. Rather, runtime performance is a property of some specific *implementation* — that is, the runtime Python machine. There are numerous Python runtimes, and they have different performance characteristics on different hardware and operating systems. <URL:https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonImplementations> You might be talking about performance on CPython. But you might not! I don't know. Have you looked at PyPy – Python implemented in Python – and compared its performance? -- \ “I went camping and borrowed a circus tent by mistake.
