History of the software
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Python was created in the early 1990s by Guido van Rossum at Stichting
|
|
Mathematisch Centrum (CWI, see http://www.cwi.nl/) in the Netherlands as a
|
|
successor of a language called ABC. Guido remains Python's principal author,
|
|
although it includes many contributions from others.
|
|
|
|
In 1995, Guido continued his work on Python at the Corporation for National
|
|
Research Initiatives (CNRI, see http://www.cnri.reston.va.us/) in Reston,
|
|
Virginia where he released several versions of the software.
|
|
|
|
In May 2000, Guido and the Python core development team moved to BeOpen.com to
|
|
form the BeOpen PythonLabs team. In October of the same year, the PythonLabs
|
|
team moved to Digital Creations (now Zope Corporation; see
|
|
http://www.zope.com/). In 2001, the Python Software Foundation (PSF, see
|
|
http://www.python.org/psf/) was formed, a non-profit organization created
|
|
specifically to own Python-related Intellectual Property. Zope Corporation is a
|
|
sponsoring member of the PSF.
|
|
|
|
All Python releases are Open Source (see http://www.opensource.org/ for the Open
|
|
Source Definition). Historically, most, but not all, Python releases have also
|
|
been GPL-compatible; the table below summarizes the various releases.

.. note::

|
|
|
GPL-compatible doesn't mean that we're distributing Python under the GPL. All
|
|
Python licenses, unlike the GPL, let you distribute a modified version without
|
|
making your changes open source. The GPL-compatible licenses make it possible to
|
|
combine Python with other software that is released under the GPL; the others
|
|
don't.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to the many outside volunteers who have worked under Guido's direction to
|
|
make these releases possible.

Modified by Jack Jansen, CWI, July 1995:
|

|
|
- Arguments more compliant with python standard
