Python and C++

There.
I just found a game library.
For Python.
No, not for C/C++. It is in a scripting language. It is easy to write for and elegant. Look over it and you''ll love it. Just go in whith an open mind.
To compare-
C++:
#include
int main()
{
printf(''Hi'')
return 0
}
Python: (equivalent code)
print ''Hi''
-------------------
See what I mean? It is easy and ultimately non-hard.
The gaming library also looks very easy to learn.
For the sites:
python.org
pygame.seul.org
Go to these 2 and d/l python 2.1.1 and the same for pygame.
Sure it looks elegant, but I would think it would lose out on performance cos python still is just an interpretor right ?
Game libraries probably are available for almost any language I suppose.
Just for the record I think Python has Opengl modules too.

I have seen numbers that place Python about 3 times slower than interpreted Java. This makes it way too slow for any performance intensive application/game.
However, it is a very nice language.

Actually, It can run faster with a little tweaking by the hacker/support (I thought I''d never see those 2 together) it has run pretty fast. Yes, it is slow, but hey, every new version twice as fast, and there are modules to make it run in ASM or Machine Code (I''ve seen that too) Go to pygame.org and see for yourself!
It''s also a blast to mess around with and pretty fun to play with. It''s PERL but without the messy coding and the Creator of Python is a friend of mine. Guido van Rossum.

As in to make an EXE and therefore faster than interprted...
It also has a thing that shows you what the code would look like in ASM.
