web crawler in python or C?

[abhinav]

Hi guys.I have to implement a topical crawler as a part of my
project.What language should i implement
C or Python?Python though has fast development cycle but my concern is
speed also.I want to strke a balance between development speed and
crawler speed.Since Python is an interpreted language it is rather
slow.The crawler which will be working on huge set of pages should be
as fast as possible.One possible implementation would be implementing
partly in C and partly in Python so that i can have best of both
worlds.But i don't know to approach about it.Can anyone guide me on
what part should i implement in C and what should be in Python?
