It's slow as fuck. Takes almost half a second to make a multiplication.
Can't do shit with it.
Why is Python praised for scientific programming?

Python is for kids. C# is the true programming language.

Intel is for single-threaded gaming, AMD is for parallelism, though Bulldozer shat.

even matlab is faster than python

You take that back, I'm not a python programmer but it doesn't deserve that. I'm not even sure javascript deserves that. Maybe php.

Its pretty much perfect for scientific computation, since it'll allow you to work easily in large groups and its incredibly versatile, readable, and simple to pick up and read. Moreover as my nigga here notes, FORTRAN is often used in science, since its particularly efficient when it comes to array processing. Python allows you to wed the two (f2py master race), which turns out to be a really useful feature.
>It's slow as fuck.
Its a common enough complaint, and there are some work around (like numba) but if you're using Python for HPC then you're doing something very wrong.
>Takes almost half a second to make a multiplication.
How big are your multiplicands?
>Can't do shit with it.
You've clearly not tried.
