pure Python vs extending module ?

[Sylvain Thenault]

hi!

I am working on a xmldiff tool written in python.
The main loop essentially consists in creating lists and reading values 
in those lists.
The problem is that there is a high complexity, and the loop body should 
easily be called more than 1 000 000 times  

Would this work take less time with the main loop written in a C extension
module ?

thanks
