+Hi Michael,
+
+yeah i have played about with python and read with interest the stackles =
+stuff. Some neat technology. However as good as python is for rapid =
+developement it has one VERY serious drawback, and thats its speed. Now =
+before i get flamed, I know stackless is a bit faster that normal 2.0 =
+python but its still REALLY REALLY slow compared to Java ( which is not =
+exactly a speed demon ) and of course c/c++. Would u not be better =
+using your own custom language for inserver scripting that you can tweak =
+to the nth degree ?? Problem with embedding python is because its a =
+general purpose language you take all the speed compromises that that =
+entails, decisons made by some one else without knowledge in your =
+domain. It takes more effort of course but could well yield better =
+results. How about inventing a new language specifically for MMORGS :-)
+
+BTW i dont think the microthreads implementation on windows is the same =
+concept as python, they are simply light threads with less start =
+up/shutdown and context switching over head. They dont have anything to =
+do with continuations ala python ( as far as i am aware ).
+
+However it sounds like the deployment platform is some custom unix box, =
+so its all academic :-) =20
+
+BTW2 Have you looked at ACE by Doug Schmidt at Washington Uni ?? That =
+would provide u with common comms layer on many unix and windows =
+platforms. Its a nice piece of kit.
+
+Regards
+
+Tom
