I'd like to try my hand at some PC game development.  I keep hearing that python is slow compared to C++.  Is this something I should be worried about?  
I am more familiar with python than C++.  If I'm looking to make some games, should I take the time to learn C++ or just stick with Python?

No, really, it's fast enough for most things, and can drop to C when you really need speed. Profile twice, optimize once.
How "slow" is python for game development?
