Ive read a few comments, the usual about it being slower,sometimes vastly slower than a C++ written item but I was wondering if its 'slow' incomparison with what I need. I'm looking at taking two arrays of 12 bytes over an ethernet connection, comparing them, recieving correction data (single byte) from another module over a pipe at approximately 900Hz and using all these with a fairly complex set of algorithms to generate a new set of 12 byte data. This has to be done in a very short time, preferably the same rate of throughput as the 900Hz. Am i asking too much of Python? I find C++/MFC fairly complex and python looked like a great alternative if it hadnt been 'flagged' as slow.
