Attendees at EuroPython had the chance to preview part of
Python: The Documentary during a
keynote panel. The full film, created by CultRepo, is now available on YouTube:

This is the story of the world’s most beloved programming language:
Python. What began as a side project in Amsterdam during the 1990s
became the software powering artificial intelligence, data science and
some of the world’s biggest companies. But Python’s future wasn’t
certain; at one point it almost disappeared.

This 90-minute documentary features Guido van Rossum, Travis
Oliphant, Barry Warsaw, and many more, and they tell the story of
Python’s rise, its community-driven evolution, the conflicts that
almost tore it apart, and the language’s impact on… well…
everything.

The video
of the keynote is also available.
