Not having any experience with this domain, I can't comment on this. > or is Python just too slow > as an interpreted language Being "interpreted" is a quality of an implementation, not of a language. And the reference implementation of Python (CPython) is not interpreted, it's compiled to byte-code, which is then executed by a VM (just like Java). So while CPython may possibly be too slow for your application (it can indeed be somewhat slow for some tasks), the reasons are elsewhere (hint: how can a compiler safely optimize anything in a language so dynamic that even the class of an object can be changed at runtime ?) ... > to do any effective color tracking? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
