  • Ancient Releases

    Ancient Releases Andrew Dalke was clever and persistent enough to scrape Python 0.9.1 out of the Usenet alt.sources archives and assemble a compressed tarball. It's here mostly as a historical relic. If you want a compiled binary (on Linux) you can install it with conda (ideally in its own conda environment): conda install -c davidmertz python=0.9 Skip Montanaro has created a GitHub repository of Python 0.9.1 source.

  • Download Python Sources

    Download Python Sources For most Unix systems, you must download and compile the source code (see the latest releases). The same source code archive can also be used to build the Windows and Mac versions, and is the starting point for ports to all other platforms. You can browse the sources online through the repository viewer. If you want to help with the Python Project, see the Python Developer's Guide.

  • Unpacking Archives

    Unpacking Archives Downloads available from python.org may be of many different types. The following provides a bit of information about them, and what applications can be used to unpack them. .tar.bz2 These files are TAR archives that have been compressed using the bzip2 application. Most Unix users will want to use these, as they offer the best compression and the tools to work with them are likely already installed. Windows users may want to install the bzip2 tools on their systems as wel...

  • 2006-10-15 Grants Committee Status Report

    2006-10-15 Grants Committee Status Report The grants committee was originally founded to use some of the PSF's "spare" money to advance Python projects. It wasn't initially clear what kind of projects where to be funded, hence the original call for projects was fairly wide. In the call, we indicated that we would give away $40,000 (which was a significant fraction of the PSF's assets at that time); in response, we got over 60 project proposals. Many of them were designed so that they...

  • In 2004, the PSF selected three grant proposals to fund. One of them, "Moving Jython Forward", was only partially completed by Brian Zimmer due to a job change. Some time later, Frank Wierzbicki offered to take over maintenance of the Jython project, but he found that he had under-estimated the amount of work necessary when taking over the proposal from Brian, and he did not make as much progress as he had wanted to. Martin von Löwis, the Grants Committee chair, has since discuss...
