Ask HN: Python vs Scala for a fast web-project

I was working on a web-project lately with a friend. We faced a situation where we realized that Python was being a bit slower than expected. Also, we were planning on using a database that was not native to Python (Python bindings used its REST interface).

So, we had to make a decision to either keep going in Python or port to Scala (Scala seemed apt for many reasons).

What would you have done in this case?
