In what scenario do you trust random C code more than random Python code?
Unintentional security mistakes are much, much easier to make in C than most other languages.
EDIT: Sorry if this came off as a little harsh, but I guess I'm curious as to what you think the security advantages of C over python are, when everything I've heard says the opposite.
Reread my comment...I said I felt safer with Python over C.
I'm well aware that, e.g. a buffer overflow is something you'd want to worry about in writing C code. I guess I worded my comment strangely? I said I would "rather have that" than C, to which I was referring to a high level language like Python.

My apologies, somehow my eyes skipped over "that than" in the last sentence.
S'alright :)
