What makes python a powerful programming language? It's the fact that
it bundles up all sorts of c-code into a nice easy to use language.
When you write _any_ python, you are taking a peice of c here, a piece
of c here, and when you import a "pure python" module, you're really
just importing more c, because it's all being built from c.

What makes a builtin faster? It's the fact that there's less work to
be done before it's called. As more work needs to get done to find the
builtins that make it possible to run, execution time increases. Plain
and simple.

So, to answer the original posters question, Use python to peice
together the things you need. You're development time will be fast,
and you will probably see some good results.
