  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python was an accident, and I didn't much like what I saw at the time. It was early 1997, and Mark Lutz's book Programming Python from O'Reilly & Associates had recently come out.

One of them was Programming Python . I found this somewhat interesting, as I collect computer languages. I know over ...

    ...Python was discovered quite early when a member of the development team read about Python in a computer magazine. After some initial experimentation there were really no other contenders. Python had it all. It was a beautiful programming language that was extensible, embeddable, platform independent, and had no license cost. When it came to incorporate Python into the Tribon software, we found the integration to be quite easy and problem-free, and it was achieved with very little effort. The res...

It would provide me with a malleable environment in which to experiment with features, to see what Nat would find interesting. Although this was an at-home project to be used only by my son, it shared issues with larger, supposedly more serious projects: unclear requirements, unpredictable customers, and limited developer resources. The most important concern to me in choosing the developmen...

    ...Python 2.4 beta 2? Release date: 03-NOV-2004 License The Python Software Foundation changed the license under which Python is released, to remove Python version numbers.

The intent is to make it possible to refer to the PSF license in a more durable way. For example, some people say they're confused by that the Open Source Ini...
