Ruby Vs Python - Socket Libraries

I have a concept I'd like to work on that requires the use of low-level sockets (i.e.: no frameworks or wrappers, just the standard send/recv pattern included in most standard libraries.

I'm familiar with both Ruby and Python, and from my (limited) experience they seem to have similar socket libraries. What I'd like to know is if either language has any advantage, whether it be with performance, stability, ease-of-use or otherwise.

Thanks.

Answer 1

What a language you know better, that'll fit your needs.

Answer 2

Both language offer a very thin wrapper above the underlying OS socket library. You won't get much difference.

Does python import all the listed libraries?

I'm just wondering, I often have really long python files and imports tend to stack quite quickly. PEP8 says that the imports should always be written at the beginning of the file. Do all the imported libraries get imported when calling a function coded in the file? Or do only the necessary libraries get called? Does it make sense to worry about this? Is there no reason to import libraries wit...

I'm attempting to write a Python wrapper for poker-eval, a c static library. All the documentation I can find on ctypes indicates that it works on shared/dynamic libraries. Is there a ctypes for static libraries? I know about cython, but should I use that or recompile the poker-eval into a dynamic library so that I can use ctypes? Thanks, Mike
