Well Python is written IN C, at least the standard version is, so I really wouldn't call it anywhere near cheating... :).

But I don't disagree that the Python owe's it's performance to C.. it owes everything to C :)

I think there's a very big difference between the runtime being implemented in C and the libraries being implemented in C.

Example Java: Runtime written in C++, practically all libraries written in Java, including the standard library, and Java libraries are greatly preferred.
