C++ vs Python for time-based coding competitions

Question

I’m already competent at Python. Is it worth learning C++ (or some other more efficient language) for a time-based coding competition (the code must finish within a time limit)?

Answer 1

AKR , read question again.

It's not asking which is better as first language but it asks which one best suits for time based coding competition.
