Want to write a typing test application (GUI, windows). Is simple terms. app shows text, user types text, user gets typing speed result. Example of an online one Is python an ok language to use with such a project? Note that some people can type upto 200 word/minute . thats a lot of keys per second. Can python keep up? I ask this coz I have heard that python being interpreted in somewhat slower than C++

and I have always wanted to learn (go beyond the getting started tutorial) python, so if performance isn't an issue I would go with python.

If python isn't suitable, kin开发者_开发百科dly suggest some other language. I am kind of ok in php and know a bit of C#. C I am not good at.

Thanks

Allow me to state this rather into the blue: Python is well up to the task of handling 200 words / minute input. Plus it's a nice language for rapid prototyping.

In short, yes, python is an acceptable choice. The application you are creating does not appear to be doing anything incredibly intensive, and even if it was, that doesn't mean python would be a poor choice. It is used in tons of reliable apps with great performance.
