The long-awaited Python documentary will be on YouTube starting Thursday.

The exact time will be:

- 19:00 CET
- 10am US Pacific

I cannot reveal the URL yet – I will post here again once it is available (it will show a countdown until the release time).

Interviewees include core developers, people important in Python’s early days, big Python adopters, and a few surprise guests.

Today I managed to watch the entire documentary film. I was struck by the feelings and emotions behind the most beautiful language in the world. I don’t know if I can or if this is the right place, but I wanted to extend my sincerest congratulations to Guido Van Rossum for conceiving Python, in its first ABS-inspired form, and to Brett Cannon, Mariatta, and all the other Python core developers. Congratulations. Really. I’ve been developing in Python for 15 years now, and I won’t stop because developing in Python is a pleasure.  
Thank you all for your wonderful work.
