Wholeheartedly agree. Divide the beast into manageable chunks and conquer it! [..] :yes::nod: &c.

Thanks! Now just to find the time...

Can [python] easily manage large in-memory data & tables? I guess it can be multi-threaded?

Python can easily manage large arrays and lists. If needed, packages like numpy/scipy can offer extremely fast matrix manipulation. If it could be done on a single floppy, it can certainly be done in python Smile

.

Multithreading is available and quite easy to set up and locks etc are well supported. However because of the interpreted nature it only speeds up IO / external processes, not loops (there is a 'global interpreter lock'). If you have really serious calculations to do, it is probably best to do that part in a different language. You can integrate C code in python seamlessly (you replace one module and the rest of the code doesn't notice the difference). However, I would be surprised if this would be necessary

something high-level (+portable +open source) like python is probably more efficient than something like C or C#.

By what definition of "efficient" is that?

Yes sorry, I could have been more clear there. I meant developer-time efficient as pointed out by XAPBob.

Anyway, as you state the problem is finding serious time. Where did my college days go? Wink

I did get one other enthousiastic response in a PM so maybe we can do something. The question is also: can we somehow convince more of the community to come back if we have a more modern client? Developing a game for the <50 active users of this forum doesn't sound like a very efficient use of time (even if it can be good fun).
