Also a badly written C program can be more inefficient than a python one.

  Doesn’t matter. The fewer lines of Python are more maintainable in human hours. I am not debating the efficiency of the compiler or program. I am however stating there is a massive oversight on the maintenance of the code, which would lead to a net loss in human overhead. Some napkin carbon footprint math—a computer on for eight hours daily does ~200 kg of CO2 in a given year. An average human on the planet is doing ~7,000 kg. Which means the average human’s 8-hour workday is ~6.4 kg CO2. Yeah, let’s pull out the abacus and the slide rule while we’re at it, in the interest of carbon footprints. /s
