Hi Troy,

I'm not sure if this is the kind of answer you're looking for, but I've come across articles on hackernews where people have written up their experiences with the history of Python, which could be a starting point- https://hn.algolia.com/?q=history+python
E.g. one of the search results is Guido van Rossum's blog with his persona history: https://python-history.blogspot.com/2009/01/personal-history-part-1-cwi.html

Best,
Emma

Hi Troy-

Here’s a short history of Python’s community governance transition.

The case study speaks to larger issues of the language and the core developers debating conflicting definitions and more- and the diplomacy that enable Python to persevere. It also includes a few links to sources for further inquiry.

Hi list,

Does anyone have any sources on the history of the Python programming language, its uses in education, healthcare, and AI, and how it has shaped the way computing is done in these areas? A quick around my library of sources didn’t turn up any obvious starting points. Asking for a student :-)

Due to RSI sometimes I’ll need to dictate messages and they might come out a bit weird. Thanks for your patience.
