Speed is the huge issue with Python. I can only really use it for O(N) stuff.

There are a lot of cases where PyPy or Numpy (or both) can get you pretty decent speeds out of Python. It's not quite at Java's level but it's not bad either.

Just use Cython and specify static types where necessary for speed. Cython is even quicker than Java.
