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 + +------=_NextPart_000_000C_01C0A343.E845D1C0 +Content-Type: text/html; + charset="iso-8859-1" +Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable + +<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> +<HTML><HEAD> +<META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = +http-equiv=3DContent-Type> +<META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.3103.1000" name=3DGENERATOR> +<STYLE></STYLE> +</HEAD> +<BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> +<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hi Michael,</FONT></DIV> +<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> +<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>yeah i have played about with python = +and read with=20 +interest the stackles stuff.&nbsp; Some neat technology.
