A little history, I've tried C++, I've tried perl, but I was only able to 
make progress with Python. The C++ and perl code eventually turned into a 
maintenance nightmare. Not to mention it was impossible to tweak. With 
Python, everything seems to runs smooth.

Also, Python is so quick to run up and get working, I was able to replace 
important, complicated parts in a jiffy with experimental code. For instance, 
the 3D engine has been through extensive modifications. I think I have 6 or 7 
different versions lying around on the cutting floor, and I am working on 
version 8 or 9. I have lost count.

I plan to write some C or C++ code eventually, but only after the python code 
stabilizes and I am happy with what I see.
