python and applications

[simonb at webone.com.au]

These are hard questions!
i don't know much about muds,
but python is a serious language
designed to handle the real stuff...
One great feature of python is the
ability to code high level algorithms
really fast (maybe 10 times faster than c),
this should be a win for, say, experimenting
with muds.
As for speed, if it ends up being important
(this depends on many factors),
the standard technique is to re-write
the critical parts in c.

I am working on a python environment for
disabled people, in my spare time.
My problem is arms with a
very limited bandwidth.
I'll keep blind people in mind.
