Also and FWIW:

1/ Python has some very handy tools when it comes to perfs - like a 
couple profilers (to identify bottlenecks), or the timeit module (for 
quick benchmarks).

2/ Most "best practice" idioms are frequently discussed here

3/ If you have performance problems related to wrong algorithm/data 
structure, some of us here _really_ enjoy helping !-)

Welcome onboard.
