You'll have to tell us what "these type of heavy computation" are before we can answer. There are a _lot_ of heavy-duty computational libraries (many of them written in FORTAN) that have been interfaced to Python (BLAS and so on). If the heavy lifting can be done by those libraries, Python might be very suitable. You might want to check out scipy, Scientific Python, and the Enthought python distro. http://www.scipy.org/ http://dirac.cnrs-orleans.fr/plone/software/scientificpython/overview/ http://www.enthought.com/products/epd.php
