+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 by 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 tbe
+BeOpen PythonLabs group. Python 2.0 is a derivative work of Python
+1.6, developed by PythonLabs and many outside volunteers, under
+Guido's direction.
