In 1991 the newly-released Python language sallied forth into a profession already riven with rivalry between competing technical traditions. Learn about the stand that Python took on one side of a long-running argument, about the technology ideas it shares with UNIX, and about the important lessons from computing history that Python today delivers to programmers around the world.
