- HISTORY OF THE SOFTWARE
- =======================
-
- Python was created in the early 1990s by Guido van Rossum at Stichting
- Mathematisch Centrum (CWI) in the Netherlands as a successor of a
- language called ABC. Guido is Python's principal author, although it
- includes many contributions from others. The last version released
- from CWI was Python 1.2. In 1995, Guido continued his work on Python
- at the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI) in Reston,
- Virginia where he released several versions of the software. Python
- 1.6 was the last of the versions released by CNRI. In 2000, Guido and
- the Python core developement team moved to BeOpen.com to form the
- BeOpen PythonLabs team (www.pythonlabs.com). Python 2.0 is the first
- release from PythonLabs. Thanks to the many outside volunteers who
- have worked under Guido's direction to make this release possible.
