Some of the comments are nitpicking, for sure. A good benefit of Python is that it abstracts a lower-level language into a higher-order one. So that you get some percentage of the raw speed of the lower-level language but in a "easier-to-use", "easier-to-reason-about" and safer format.
On some level, it's like complaining that C# is just using C++ modules because the CLR that interprets the C# byte-code is written in C++.
But it misses the point. You wrote this in Python and you were able to leverage the speed of a much more complicate language for your benefit. Without touching the lower language and without worrying about it's memory-management or lib dependencies. This is a win, and it's part of the beauty of programming!
Btw, my compliments to you on writing this! Really cool project/poc.
