Have you tried writing a game AI?  It's clear enough to me that Python is
useful for *some part* of the problem.  But I'm the kind of guy who believes
a lot of so-called AI is just heavy duty number crunching.  That's what the
C++ and the understanding of domain specific topology is for.  It has to go
fast, so that lotsa possibilities can be tried.  Python is for glueing those
possibilities together.

Thanks, I got my copy 11 years ago.  1 year later, my copy of Stroustrup.
