Python’s issue is that it is incredibly slow in use cases that surprise average developers. It is incredibly slow at very basic stuff, like calling a function or accessing a dictionary.
If Python didn’t have such an enormous number of popular C and C++ based libraries it would not be here. It was saved by Numpy etc etc.
i hate python but if your bottleneck is that sqlite query, optimizing a handful of addition operations is a wash. thats why you need to at least have a feel for these tables
