Python is currently one of the most popular dynamic programming
languages, along with Perl, Tcl, PHP, and newcomer Ruby. Although it is
often viewed as a "scripting" language, it is really a general purpose
programming language along the lines of Lisp or Smalltalk (as are the
others, by the way). Today, Python is used for everything from
throw-away scripts to large scalable web servers that provide
uninterrupted service 24x7. It is used for GUI and database programming,
client- and server-side web programming, and application testing. It
is used by scientists writing applications for the world's fastest
supercomputers and by children first learning to program.
In this
blog, I will shine the spotlight on Python's history. In particular,
how Python was developed, major influences in its design, mistakes made,
lessons learned, and future directions for the language.
