Version Control
[http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/ Mercurial]
[http://bazaar-vcs.org/ Bazaar] (formerly Bazaar-NG) and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bazaar_(software) Baz] (formerly Bazaar)
[http://www.viewvc.org/ ViewVC] (formerly ViewCVS) - a repository browser for CVS and Subversion
[http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/ cvs2svn] - the CVS to Subversion repository converter
Two bug trackers: [http://trac.edgewall.org/ Trac] and [http://roundup.sourceforge.net/ Roundup]
Systems Management and Administration
- Many GNU/Linux distributions use Python to manage resources and packages:
In many programs and components in the Ubuntu distributions (and related services): "Ubuntu prefer the community to contribute work in Python." ([http://www.ubuntu.com/community/developerzone/bounties Ubuntu bounties for Python work])
- Red Hat's up2date tool (the pulsating red dot)
[http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/ yum] provides software updates for Fedora and other distributions
[http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Mock mock] and [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Plague plague] controls the building of the packages in the Fedora operating system.
Fedora and Red Hat's installer, [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda Anaconda] (notice the clever python tie-in on the name).
Gentoo Linux relies on Python since the [http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/portage/ Portage] package management system is written in Python
- HP Compaq / IBM preinstalled Python on a series of computers for some administration tasks
Historical Python Applications
Historically (these have all been rewritten at some point after acquisition):
- Yahoo Mail started out as 411 mail which was all Python
- Yahoo Groups started out as egroups which was all Python
- Microsoft Commerce Server started out as eShop which was all Python (Yes, Microsoft acquired Python-based software!)
- Google's first crawler was written in Python
