Python gets the Hollywood Treatment!

Well, maybe not quite Hollywood, but as good as!
 

We've been sharing articles about the rise and rise of Python ever since we selected it as the scripting language for Extender, Orchid's powerful customization platform for Sage 300.

It tells 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.

You can watch the trailer for a teaser, or click the image below to see the full documentary on YouTube.
