Python isn't perfect, but I do believe that is as good as the best of 
the major "standard" systems out there.

You will have *far* greater chances of introducing errors yourself by 
coding in c, than you will encounter in Python.

You can see the bugs fixed in recent versions, and see for yourself 
whether they would have crashed your system. That should be an indicator:
