rapid prototyping and program development. Because it easily incorporates modules written in other languages, it is an excellent glue language for the overall structure of large programming projects. Python is not suitable for programming algorithms which require very rapid or time critical execution such as data compression, device drivers, complex floating point calculations or complex database operations. —“Internet Programming with Python.” Linux Journal #42, October 1997.
program in C it is easy to add a new built‑in function or module to the interpreter, either to perform critical operations at maximum speed, or to link Python programs to libraries that may only be available in binary form (such as a vendor‑specific graphics library). Once you are really hooked, you can link the Python interpreter into an application written in C and use it as an extension or command language for that application. —Whetting Your Appetite.

binding, and everything in Python is an object. However, Python distinguishes built‑in object types from user‑defined classes, and currently doesn't allow inheritance from built‑in types. —Comparing Python to Other Languages. April 1997. Guido van Rossum. (Emphasis added.)
c t — Class wrapper for dictionary objects This module defines a class that acts as a wrapper around dictionary objects. It is a useful base class for your own dictionary‑like classes, which can inherit from them and override existing methods or add new ones. In this way one can add new behaviours to dictionaries. —Python Library Reference. Release 1.5.2. April 1999.
s t — Class wrapper for list objects This module defines a class that acts as a wrapper around list objects. It is a useful base class for your own list‑like classes, which can inherit from them and override existing methods or add new ones. In this way one can add new behaviours to lists. —Python Library Reference. Release 1.5.2. April 1999.
Creations their new home. Guido van Rossum was kind enough to answer a set of questions … Do you expect the PythonLabs people to work on Zope as well? Yes — Zope is a very interesting piece of software, and we'd like to help. I certainly have some ideas that I'd like to try out. But I don't think this will be a large portion of our time — instead, we'll be improving Python in ways that will make it possible for Jim Fulton's team to make Zope better. “Guido van Rossum on the move to Digital Creations.” November 1, 2000.

Smalltalk programmer. Jim Fulton: Yes. Smalltalk is very cool. I built a visual chart editor for the USGS using GNU Smalltalk. I also spent a little time serving on the ANSI Smalltalk committee. There seems to be some neat work still going on with Smalltalk, especially Squeak. —Jim Fulton Interview. Zopera (French Zope UG). February 2002.
future of web development that you follow since many years, or do you try to follow industry standards and to keep best of them?

more than once that Python really needs a CPAN‑like module repository. What's the current thinking in that regard? That it's true. We don't yet have immediate plans in that direction, but in the long term I think we'll be improving the www.python.org website (making it a Zope site run by the community) and this would be a logical thing to add. Note that the distutils package added to Python 2.0 makes installation of 3rd party code much easier. “Guido van Rossum on the move to Digital Creations.” November 1, 2000. LWN.
the story is this: weeks and months after writing fetchmailconf†, I could still read the fetchmailconf code and grok what it was doing without serious mental effort. And the true reason I no longer write Perl for anything but tiny projects is that was never true when I was writing large masses of Perl code. I fear the prospect of ever having to modify keeper‡ or anthologize‡ again—but fetchmailconf gives me no qualms at all. —“Why Python?” Linux Journal #73, May 2000. Eric S. Raymond. † ESR's software written in Python. ‡ ESR's softwares written in Perl.
language of choice for a new generation of amateur programmers… Our team considered the Basic language a pest that the world should be rid of. The language we were building, ABC, would “stamp out Basic”, according to our motto. Sadly, for a variety of reasons, …, ABC was abandoned. Since then I've spent many hours trying to understand why the project failed … my best answer is that ABC died because there was no internet in those days, and as a result there could not be a healthy feedback loop between the makers of the language and its users. ABC's design was essentially a one‑way street. —King's Day Speech. Guido van Rossum.
