Python is not that slow in general but when compared to other languages then yes it is a bit on a slower side. Despit being slow, it is far more popular that those languages, and the reasons are as follows:

• Python has a simple syntax that is both easy to read and understand
• It is a beginner-friendly language
• The availability of a number of Python libraries makes it more powerful
