Man, I was hoping it was written in C, or at least C++, not Python.

  Out of curiosity, how come? Python runs on pretty much any platform you'd want to use and is much easier to develop in than C/C++.

    I was hoping to see low level socket programming, you know, connect, close, open, bind, accept, recvfrom
    • teraflop 12y ago
      All of those system calls are available in Python, FWIW. https://docs.python.org/2/library/socket.html https://docs.python.org/2/library/socket.html

  Would certainly be overkill given the purpose it serves. A clean scripting language makes much more sense here for general consumption.

  As a die-hard C programmer. For tools and toys that are not performance sensitive, python is great. It's a lot more expressive and requires a lot less boilerplate code. I've re-written projects from C->Python before and had them work with 30% the number of LoC. I've re-written projects from Python->C before and had a 10-fold speed increase. Right tool for the right job and all that...
