You might have misunderstood my English. X is just as T as Y means
T(x) >= T(y). Python is vey robust. However, personally I wouldn't
trust *any* language for that. Have a every-minute cron which resurrects
it if it isn't up? That means you're as stable as either Python or
the OS infrastructure, whichever is better.
