A. HISTORY OF THE SOFTWARE Python originated in 1991 at Stichting Mathematisch Centrum (CWI) in the Netherlands as an outgrowth of a language called ABC. Its principal author was Guido van Rossum, although it included smaller contributions from others at CWI and elsewhere. The last version of Python issued by CWI was Python 1.2. In 1995, Mr. van Rossum continued his work on Python at the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI) in Reston, Virginia where several versions of the software were generated. Python 1.6 is the last of the versions developed at CNRI. B. TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR ACCESSING OR OTHERWISE USING Python 1.6, beta 1 1.
