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
