There's many pages on the internet comparing Python, Java and other
languages.  I suggest you check them out.

Having said that, I'll point out that Python has several implementations,
including one called "Jython", which actually targets the Java runtime and
so should have comparable performance to Java on the same runtime.
Additionally there's projects like PyPy which in some cases is faster even
than C/C++.

This page (from my bookmarks) has some interesting points of comparison for
consideration:
