. . .introducing the new professional quality

PSF Python Brochure“Python is already very well known among developers and becoming

increasingly popular as rapid development language of choice. Wewould like to extend this popularity to non-developers in industry,governments and science.

The brochure project is intended to reach out to these people, byshowing how wide-spread Python already is and how its efficiencyand simplicity can make a major difference.” Marc-André Lemburg

PSF Board Member and Project Lead

The Web

»The Python programming language supports many programming para-

digms and can be put to productive use virtually anywhere. What’s

more, Python is not restricted to the web. For example, we also use

Python for our packaging and build systems.

The Python ecosystem is very rich and well-developed. Our developers

can incorporate existing libraries into their projects and only need to

develop the new functions that they need.

Python’s concise syntax is simple and yet highly productive. This means

that new developers can very quickly get involved in our projects, even if

they are not yet familiar with Python.«

The Mozilla Corporation, manufacturer

of the Firefox web browser and Thun-

derbird e-mail client, is impressed with

Python and uses the language for its

web services. The addon.mozilla.org and

support.mozilla.com websites and the

Socorro crash-reporting system are

based on Django and Python.

Firefox Sync Server

The Firefox Sync Server, which is used to synchronize bookmarks, browsing

histories, passwords, and open tabs on different computers and mobile de-

vices, was also written in Python.

Tarek Ziadé – a member of the

Mozilla Service Team, cites various

reasons for the success..

The Less Code the BetterA task that requires an average of twenty lines

of code in C and seven in Java can often be

done with just one line in Python.


Bit.ly is a URL shortener and

analytics service based in

New York City, handling hun-

dreds of millions of events per day. The majority

of the code is written in Python. Python scales

well and makes the shortener really big.

Bitly shortens approximately 80 million new URLs per day and

sees hundreds of millions of clicks on those URLs.

Bit.ly chose Python for its ability to develop rapidly, and for its vast

standard library. The company also make extensive use of python’s

numerical computing frameworks. Python serves all user facing

pages as well as a large portion of public API traffic. Additionally,

Python does the heavy-lifting for all asynchronous work in the

backend systems. All of bitly’s internal APIs are written or proto-

typed in Python.

»Python is fast enough for our site and allows us

to produce maintainable features in record times,

with a minimum of developers.«

Cuong Do – Software Architect, YouTube.com

Tailor-made for Web Applications

The Python programming language is tailor-

made to perform new tasks on the World Wide

Web. Virtually no other programming language

has as many web frameworks as Python for devel-

oping powerful web applications. Frameworks

and application servers such as Zope, Django, Tur-

bogears, and Pylons have enabled small start-ups

to implement new services and business models

on the Internet quickly, securely, and successfully.

In 1998, a small company from California, with the help of the

Python programming language, changed the way we search for

relevant information on the Internet. The company had an un-

usual-sounding name: Google.

Twelve years on, this name is valued at 160 billion US dollars, making it the most

expensive brand in the world. Thanks to its innovative products, Google has risen in

no time at all to its position as a market-leading online information provider.

»Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally

accessible and useful.«

It is safe to assume that without Python, the World Wide Web would not exist in its

present form. Not only Google, but also many other companies and open-source

communities have changed the web, and with it our lives, using Python.

»Python has been an important part of Google since the begin-

ning and remains so as the system grows and evolves. Today

dozens of Google engineers use Python, and we’re looking for

more people with skills in this language.«

Peter Norvig – Director of Research at Google Inc

Powered by Python

It is easy enough to work out what this means for a code base

consisting of several thousand lines of code. Huge amounts of

time can be saved in the development and long-term maintenan-

ce of Python programs. With every line of code that can be left out,

a possible source of error is also avoided.

„New developers learn to use the leaner code

base much more quickly.“

Python Software Foundation

“As chairman of the PSF I am happy to see the Foundation supportthis effort to bring Python to the attention of a wider public.

Businesses need to understand how Python can lower their pro-gramming and maintenance costs. Programmers need to under-stand how well Python integrates with other languages. Politiciansneed to understand the significance of open source to nationalstrategies for science and education.

I really hope that we can eventually have the brochure translated,and include examples of Python use from all over the world.

The Python Software Foundation would love your help in bringingPython to a broad international community.” Steve Holden

Chairman of the Python Software Foundation

“For me, working on the Python Brochure was a really interestingexperience. Of course, I knew about the typical list of advantagespeople tell you when trying to sell Python. What I didn't know wasthat Python has indeed changed the world.

The success stories prove that Python has the potential to open upsoftware engineering to a broader public, turning it into a skill thatmany people can learn and benefit from.” Jan Ulrich Hasecke
