Generally, a high-level interpreted scripting language is far not as fast as a compiled program. However, a specializing just-in-time compiler "Psyco"[1] runs existing Python programs much faster, with no change in the source text. In addition, the Python library contains a number of modules performing useful operations quite effectively. For example, "Anydbm"[2] can effectively maintain a large indexed file.
