In my experience, it is better to start a new project with D, not
only because of speed. As a project grows, the restrictions of
Python become more apparent (and annoying). If copyright is an
issue, D is the better option, too. Python can be decompiled
easily. I don't know what kind of projects you have in mind, but
in our projects Python is always the bottleneck and has to be
rewritten in a different language anyway, sooner or later.
