History of the software

=======================

Python was created in the early 1990s by Guido van Rossum at Stichting

Mathematisch Centrum (CWI, see http://www.cwi.nl/) in the Netherlands as a

successor of a language called ABC. Guido remains Python's principal author,

although it includes many contributions from others.

In 1995, Guido continued his work on Python at the Corporation for National

Research Initiatives (CNRI, see http://www.cnri.reston.va.us/) in Reston,

Virginia where he released several versions of the software.
