The trick is to find something that is sufficiently powerful and flexible without being too complex to use, especially for novice programmers. The SIG was kicked off shortly after David Goodger and Greg Ward (your humble narrator and champion of this SI...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python? Python was not our first choice as the main programming language it was a coincidence. When we started our project we was very proficient in Perl and completely unaware of Python: so we chose Perl. We discovered Python when we decided that we had to substitute the PerlTK user interface with a Web-based one. We found Zope, and after some attempts to integrate Perl with Zope, we switched to Python. To make a log story short, at the end we dropped Zope but kept using Python (and rewrote the...

    ...Python 3000, continue to use and learn more about the Python version that you do have. I'd like to say a few words about Python's current development model. Until early 2000, there were hundreds of contributors to Python, but essentially all contributions had to go through my inbox. To propose a change to Python, you would mail me a context diff, which I would apply to my work version of Python, and if I liked it, I would check it into my CVS source tree. (CVS is a source code version...
