I want to implement an RSA cryptosystem algorithm for a university project and I' m trying to decide which programming language to use. I am very familiar with C so it would be a convenient choice. However, the algorithm will have to deal with very large numbers (it will include a Primality subroutine), and I have heard that using Python will result in a better implementation. Is that right? 
Thank you in advance.
Using a scripting language or any more high level language than C (e.g. C# or Java) will most likely be easier since you don't have to deal with memory management and other tasks not really related to your project.
