History and License
*******************
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:
- Use binascii module to do the actual line-by-line conversion
between ascii and binary. This results in a 1000-fold speedup. The C
version is still 5 times faster, though.
- Arguments more compliant with Python standard

It appears that at least two of the linux build bots aren't leaving zombie processes around for os.waitpid to wait for, causing ECHILD errors. This would be a symptom of a bug somewhere, but probably not in signal itself. ........ r61696 | georg.brandl | 2008-03-21 15:32:33 +0100 (Fri, 21 Mar 2008) | 2 lines Mark the descitems in the tutorial as "noindex" so that :meth: cross-refs don't link to them. ........ r61700 | georg.brandl | 2008-03-21 18:19:29 +0100 (Fri, 21 Mar 2008) | 2 lines Fix markup. ........ r61704 | jeffrey.yasskin | 2008-03-21 19:25:06 +0100 (Fri, 21 Mar 2008) | 3 lines Try to fix test_signal on FreeBSD. I'm assuming that os.kill is failing to raise a signal, but switching to subprocess makes the code cleaner anyway. ........ r61705 | jeffrey.yasskin | 2008-03-21 19:48:04 +0100 (Fri, 21 Mar 2008) | 7 lines Speed test_threading up from 14s to .5s, and avoid a deadlock on certain failures. The test for enumerate-after-join is now a little less rigorous, but the bug it references says the error happened in the first couple iterations, so 100 iterations should still be enough. cProfile was useful for identifying the slow tests here. ........ r61707 | georg.brandl | 2008-03-21 20:14:38 +0100 (Fri, 21 Mar 2008) | 2 lines Fix a code block in __future__ docs. ........ r61708 | georg.brandl | 2008-03-21 20:20:21 +0100 (Fri, 21 Mar 2008) | 2 lines Add docs for __func__ and __self__ on methods. ........ r61709 | georg.brandl | 2008-03-21 20:37:57 +0100 (Fri, 21 Mar 2008) | 2 lines Add docs for print_function and future_builtins.
