Python is not low-level enough, it is pretty eccletic for sockets.
While C/C++ has standard, fully compliant IO (Input[mport]/Output) Socket handlers.
The plus : C++ sockets have neat useable namespace s :
#include <iostream>,<iostream>;<WinSock2.h>, etc..
and the general class "Socket"->SocketClient, SocketServer.
Plenty of toys to play with.

I don't think Python is that widely portable or i must be completely wrong or the language has seriously developed (i have not my Python knowledge up-to-date neither ;-)
