Written in C is not the same that compiled via C. If you want Python compiled via C you can use Cython, and without much surprise, you usually get a huge speed up (e.g. https://notes-on-cython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/std_dev.htm...).
Compiling to C really isn't relevant. "50 years of work on C compilers" is not at all relevant--languages that compile to LLVM get all the advantages of the optimization work.
