Depends on the Python modules you are using.
I've been using Python a lot lately for integrating MIDI and
OSC (and other event inputs), using my own C extensions for both.
Works perfectly. The tools I use allow running critical paths in
RT mode, but it has never been necessary. Compared to HW MIDI
speeds Python is fast as lightning.
