I doubt anyone would make the server in VERGE, so you should definatly use DirectPlay. Besides, DirectPlay is really easy to use :)

no matter what language you use...

if tSB wanted, I could let him use the networking API that I had already written for v2.7... but avoid DirectPlay...

Most people I've talked to say that DirectPlay isn't worth the trouble, and to go straight to sockets/Winsock. (which are the same thing, really) Moreover, DirectPlay isn't portable.

This is something of a non-issue, though, since the standard Python distribution is packed with a socket library. :) (If necessary, I'll write a lil' abstraction over it to make it easier to use)
