Faster to get a working app released: Python Faster to drive you nuts: C++ Faster processing the files: My hunch is C++, but not by much. After you've shipped your working app (in Python), you'll still have lots of spare time to tweak up the speed -- IF it's slow, if anybody notices, and if anybody cares -- and this newsgroup usually provides a lively response to "how do I make this faster" questions. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
