How costly it is to call functions and builtins in your python code? Does inlining help? How have the recent CPython releases improved performance in these areas?
The downvotes are hilarious. Being able to drop down to C is one of python’s selling points, and the title of the post includes the name of the python ref implementation __C__Python.
There is a difference being able to drop down in C and using exclusively C.
One of the main advantage of python is being to quickly write code, and using C-based library / part of code written in C (or fortran, or rust for what it matters) when needed.
Just code in C
Just code in assembly
Just punch the cards
Just ritualistically wave a magnet near the computer
Don’t write code, why do you need a computer to do your math? Just do it on paper ffs.
Paper‽ What too good for a clay tablet?

“just write C” may lack a bit of nuance.
