Not too far off. This paper [0] compared 27 languages for speed and energy efficiency (which is very interesting).
Python was 72 times slower than C and consumed 76 times more energy.
I think Python is a very useful language at many levels. Great for prototyping stuff. No doubt about that. If performance and energy efficiency are important, it seems obvious one has to look elsewhere.
