Python.....

So today I learnt Python (well the syntax and semantics) and I loved the simplicity it give the user...etc

But anyway, since it's an interpreted language and all how does it compare in terms of system resources and such with other languages such as C/C++ and JAVA.

I see an awful lot of python implemented utilities but I'm not sure if it's because of it's simplicity or something else.

Thanks!

You shouldn't bother caring about execution speeds until you've learnt the language proper and are seriously considering writing realtime/time-critical/whatever programs in it (Hint: don't).
But if you really care, you'd probably do well completely disregarding the data at http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/.
