Brief History of Python

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 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) 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 Python- Labs team. In October of the same year, the PythonLabs team moved to Digital Creations (now->> Zope Corporation). In 2001, the Python Software Foundation (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 (Click Here for the Open Source Definition). Historically, most, but not all, Python releases have also been GPL-compatible! Latest Python Software Version is Python 3.7.0 (2018 Augusts 30)...
