+===== Python =====
+**Python** is an interpreted programming language.
+==== The Zen of Python ====
+Programming in Python is built around a collection of mantras known as the [[http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/|Zen of Python]] as channeled by Tim Peters.
+==== Versions ====
+=== Python 2 ===
+Python was created by [[wp>Guido van Rossum]] in 1989.
+Since then it has continually evolved into Python 2.7.
+All versions of Python were backwards compatible, but they increasingly violated the mantra that
+"There should be one -- and preferably only one -- obvious way to do it".
+=== Python 3 ===
+In 2008 Python 3.0 came to the rescue, doing away with some historical ballast, at the cost of compatibility with
+prior versions of Python.
+==== Software ====
+=== knitting_machine ===
+The //knitting_machine// repository of Limor Fried (aka [[blf#lady_ada|Adafruit]]) contains a set of python commandline tools to control [[wiki:brother#electronic_machines|brother knitting machines]].
+It is based on Python scripts developed  by Steve Conklin, and reverse engineering efforts spearheaded by John R. Hogerhuis.
+==== Projects  ====
+=== Multithreaded banjo dinosaur knitting adventure 2D Extreme ===
+Travis Goodspeed and friends created a 2D adventure game, that knits a continuous banner of winner trophies.
+They also created a [[hardware_hack#keypad_hack|hardware hack]] so they did not need to opearate the keypad of the knitting machine to upload a pattern.
