Simulation

It seems that python is indeed a good tool to perform NetworkSimulation. Most of the documents I read regarding this subject and python pointed to the use of StacklessPython. There is an article availiable on [informit] with the title "Working with Stackless Python and Microthreads". This article was writen by [this guy]

Hints:
- avoid concatenating strings: use a list and join
- use buffer:

  def doWrite(self):
    slice = buffer(self.data, self.offset, len(self.data) - self.offset)
    amountWriten = write(slice)
    self.offset += amountWritten
    if self.offset == len(self.data);
      self.data = ""; self.ooffset = 0
