If you value runtime efficiency over development time, sure. There are 
plenty of languages which have made that decision: Pascal, C, Java, Lisp, 
Forth, and many more.

Python aims at acceptable performance (between 10 and 100 times slower 
than C) and much easier development (between 10 and 100 times faster than 
C *wink*). If that tradeoff doesn't suit you, perhaps Python is not the 
language for you.
