One nice thing about the C bindings is that the communication with ZooKeeper happens in a separate C-thread. We have a number of applications that like to chew through all the available CPU. In these applications it's impossible to ensure that any individual Python thread gets scheduled frequently enough (e.g. to send PINGs to the server). So, personally I'd rather use the C bindings. ;-) Duncan
