Idk why such noob stuff is upvoted on HN.

The only thing this tells you that you should try to avoid a billon nested loop iterations in python. In case you didnt know.

On the other hand I would also see python as a bit questionable for bigger procejts, just because at some point a type system does more help than harm. But I have never really worked with pythons type extension so nowadays even this might be good enough.

I'd argue it's noob to use Python for anything other than where it has actual strengths like data science. Even AI can't help Python performance issues, you're stuck. AI can help verify C code, for example, is memory safe. There's just nothing you can do to fix Python's biggest problems. Wrong tool for the job.
