Sure, if/when Python becomes as water-logged with obtruse OO-layers as Java
is now.

Python is faster than Java.

Because Python per design generally is a thin layer of glue poured over
binary C modules, it does not take very many instructions before one hits
the fastest speed that the platform can go at. I would test it, then worry
about it.
