    Description:
    Attendees at EuroPython had the chance to preview part of Python: The Documentary during a
    keynote panel . The full film, created by CultRepo , is now available on YouTube : This is the story of the world's most beloved programming language: Python. What began as a side project in Amsterdam during the 1990s
    became the software powering artificial intelligence, data science and
    some of the world's biggest companies. But Python's future wasn't
    certain; at one point it almost disappeared. This 90-minute documentary features Guido van Rossum, Travis
    Oliphant, Barry Warsaw, and many more, and they tell the story of
    Python's rise, its community-driven evolution, the conflicts that
    almost tore it apart, and the language's impact on... well...
    everything. The video of the keynote is also available.
