WellKnownPythonPrograms

Well-known Python Programs

Some well-known programs that are written, partially or completely, in Python:

Web and Internet Applications

Powered by Python

Some high-profile Web sites are implemented in Python, according to various reports:

reddit.com - written using web.py
JotSpot - "Google has acquired JotSpot, a company that makes use of Twisted"
diggdot.us - with Turbogears under the hood.
youtube.com

Version Control

Mercurial
Bazaar (formerly Bazaar-NG) and Baz (formerly Bazaar)
ViewVC (formerly ViewCVS) - a repository browser for CVS and Subversion
cvs2svn - the CVS to Subversion repository converter
Two bug trackers: Trac and Roundup

Systems Management and Administration

Many GNU/Linux distributions use Python to manage resources and packages:
- In many programs and components in the Ubuntu distributions (and related services): "Ubuntu prefer the community to contribute work in Python." ( Ubuntu bounties for Python work)
- Reconstructor for Ubuntu and Revisor for Fedora - applications which let users customise their GNU/Linux distribution CDs - are both written in Python
- Red Hat's up2date tool (the pulsating red dot)
- yum provides software updates for Fedora and other distributions
- mock and plague controls the building of the packages in the Fedora operating system.
- Fedora and Red Hat's installer, Anaconda (notice the clever python tie-in on the name).
- Gentoo Linux relies on Python since the Portage package management system is written in Python
- Pardus uses Python extensively: "Python in Pardus"
HP Compaq / IBM preinstalled Python on a series of computers for some administration tasks

Historical Python Applications

Historically (these have all been rewritten at some point after acquisition):

Yahoo Mail started out as 411 mail which was all Python
Yahoo Groups started out as egroups which was all Python
Microsoft Commerce Server started out as eShop which was all Python (Yes, Microsoft acquired Python-based software!)
Google's first crawler was written in Python
