Hi. Just passing through and thought I would clear up some misapprehensions about Python. Anyone who thinks that ActiveState has played a major role in Python's growth has their head up their ass. The growth in Python took off at least a half year before ActiveState produced anything ( most linux distro still distribute 1.x versions ActiveState didn't release anything untill 2.0 ). After 2.0 the distribution on python.org was available. There was a short time when the BeOpen site was down, and the only place to find the latest version of python was at ActiveState and most downloads came from there. Otherwise it just seemed more convinient to download BeOpen's version. Plus if BeOpens version disagreed with ActiveStates on a point, who do you think would have the correct version?
