This is not an insurmountable problem. There are various technologies which allow you to use C++ code quite easily from python. The easiest of which is weave: http://www.scipy.org/Weave The more difficult, yet still often eminently worth it one is SWIG: http://www.swig.org/ It also smashes the argument you'll hear in a C++ shop: You can never make it fast enough in the inner loop. That said, there are very few times I've *ever* seen the speed differential between a python and C++ program ever recoup the vastly increased development and maintenance time of a C++ program. (And I'm an embedded software developer by practice, supposedly the area that really matters in). --Michael -- Michael Langford Phone: 404-386-0495 Consulting: http://www.RowdyLabs.com _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
