If you are only writing small programs where perf doesn't matter, crashing doesn't matter, design doesn't matter - Python will be faster than Rust, because the only thing that matters is how you can write the code from 0 to "done". You can jump right in, the design stage is superfluous & unnecessary. There is nothing to optimize, the default is good enough.
If you are doing slightly more than that, Python and Rust become about even, and the more you need those things, the better Rust becomes.
