Seems like instead of focusing on python's execution speed, we've all been saying (for a long time) what we really really need in a language (like python) is simplified/centralized/pythonic(one way to do it) tooling. Python, isn't popular because it executes close to C speeds. It's popular because it generally removes common obstacles for the developer. The package manager for python is a common obstacle that many open source repo's are trying to solve because python proper hasn't solved it (or attempted to with enough focus).
