Well-known Python Programs
Some well-known programs that are written, partially or completely, in Python:
Web and Internet Applications
Powered by Python
Some high-profile Web sites are implemented in Python, according to various reports:
JotSpot - "Google has acquired JotSpot, a company that makes use of Twisted"
diggdot.us - with Turbogears under the hood.
Version Control
ViewVC (formerly ViewCVS) - a repository browser for CVS and Subversion
cvs2svn - the CVS to Subversion repository converter
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." (Ubuntu bounties for Python work)
Reconstructor for Ubuntu and Revisor for Fedora - applications which let users customise their GNU/Linux distribution CDs - are both written in Python
- Red Hat's up2date tool (the pulsating red dot)
yum provides software updates for Fedora and other distributions
mock and plague controls the building of the packages in the Fedora operating system.
Fedora and Red Hat's installer, Anaconda (notice the clever python tie-in on the name).
Gentoo Linux relies on Python since the Portage package management system is written in Python
Pardus uses Python extensively: "Python in Pardus"
- 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
