I would need to make some high-reliability software running on Linux in an embedded system. Performance (or lack of it) is not an issue, reliability is.
The piece of software is rather simple, probably a few hundred lines of code in Python. There is a need to interact with network using the socket module, and then probably a need to do something hardware- related which will get its own driver written in C. Threading and other more error-prone techniques can be left aside, everything can run in one thread with a poll loop. The software should be running continously for practically forever (at least a year without a reboot). Is the Python interpreter (on Linux) stable and leak-free enough to achieve this? - Ville -- Ville Voipio, Dr.Tech., M.Sc. (EE) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
