How well would a multi user texed based game created in just Python run if there were over 300 - 400 players (Just a hypathetical question) Would python be to slow to handle that amount of traffic?
It depends... What would be happening in said game? What would it involve, calculation-wise? What would you be running it on?
In that kind of program, the core programming itself is rarely a bottleneck (IOW, Python should work just fine). The true elements on which your game's performance depend are:
1) Connection bandwidth and latency
2) Database access (especially if the DB is not on a remote server)
3) File I/O, if any
Could you give us a few more specs?
