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.
