Which is a pretty good reason to favor Python over C or C++.

It's not exactly one of the slowest languages nor one with the highest 
overhead neither. Chances are you'll have a fully-functional production 
level app in Python *way* before you have a first alpha in C++. If by 
then you *really* have some performance problem, it will be time to port 
the relevant modules to C extensions.
