Is python an ok language for a typing test sort of application as far as performance is concerned

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, kindly suggest some other language. I am kind of ok in php and know a bit of C#. C I am not good at.

Thanks

Solution

  • 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.
