Edit: Makes me wonder how much better p2pool would be if it was also in C++......

c/c++ are much better suited to the task than python. Python may be quick for development but p2pool has outgrown it. I toyed with the idea of rewriting p2pool in c ages ago but it's a veritable bootload of work. On the other hand, I may find a way to hook something like p2pool into my ckpool code or vice versa.

I suggested rewriting an alternative p2pool based on C++ over a year ago when I first got tired of the lack of development:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=213051.0

but was unable to find anyone to do it at the time. I also got chastised for even suggesting it..... Cheesy

I'm also wondering if Bitmain are using python for the version they're working on, but don't think it will come out for a while yet, if at all. It is a crapload of work ck, but if you get the urge......I'm sure there are many p2pool users here who would be more than happy to help you out - as well as make it worth your while..... Wink

Can't think of anyone better to do it actually.

Hells yeah, I would love to see it written in c/c++ then it can be compiled for a native windows service. (yes I run windows servers).
It would likely make it more accessible to other devs to contribute as well.
