Google I/O 2011: Python@Google


Wesley Chun, Guido van Rossum Python is one of the key languages at Google today. It runs on many our internal systems and shows up in many of our APIs. Some of the key contributors to the language are Googlers and continue to actively promote, use, and support the language. In this talk, we’ll discuss Python’s background & history, discuss its philosophy, show you some syntax, and give some examples of what we use it for at Google.

    hi,

    im looking for tutorial on web application development in python including installing, configuring python, web server, using IDE, and a sample application.

    i have been looking for installing OS, web server, IDE, to develop a sample web application in python, all the information is scattered and buggy.

    please compile a tutorial comprising of OS, IDE, web server, all the configurations, and with a 4 page web application to start with. I prefer ubuntu, nginx, eclipse-pydev

    The proposal to teach programming along with reading (13:45) and writing is a bad idea. He says everyone uses programming daily, but all the examples he gave are indirect ones. By the same logic physics, chemistry and pretty much everything should be taught to children from a young age.

    The first question is pretty good, most of people puzzled which programing language they should use. the answer is so funny and impartial
