| 3 | Python was created in the early 1990s by Guido van Rossum at Stichting |
Fred Drake | 0068e9c | 2001-07-17 23:08:24 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4 | Mathematisch Centrum (CWI, see \url{http://www.cwi.nl/}) in the Netherlands |
| 5 | as a successor of a language called ABC. Guido remains Python's |
| 6 | principal author, although it includes many contributions from others. |

Fred Drake | 0068e9c | 2001-07-17 23:08:24 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 8 | In 1995, Guido continued his work on Python at the Corporation for |
| 9 | National Research Initiatives (CNRI, see \url{http://www.cnri.reston.va.us/}) |
| 10 | in Reston, Virginia where he released several versions of the |
| 11 | software. |

Fred Drake | 0068e9c | 2001-07-17 23:08:24 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 13 | In May 2000, Guido and the Python core development team moved to |
| 14 | BeOpen.com to form the BeOpen PythonLabs team. In October of the same |
Guido van Rossum | 2e1c09c | 2002-04-04 17:52:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 15 | year, the PythonLabs team moved to Digital Creations (now Zope |
| 16 | Corporation; see \url{http://www.zope.com/}). In 2001, the Python |

| 18 | formed, a non-profit organization created specifically to own |
