Python: The Documentary | An origin story

is a somewhat surprising movie, in the sense that I haven't seen anything similar yet in the Open Source universe. I'd summarize it as an autobiography of the Python community. In general, I am not particularly interested in autobiographies. But as an ex-member of the Python community, it was nice to see the aged faces of people I interacted with in the past, or even just faces to put on the names of people I never met but exchanged lots of e-mails with at some time. Still, I'd be much more interested in a history of Python and its community, written by a trained historian and adding historical context and outsider views to the memories of the main protagonists.

What an amazing story. Thank you for sharing. Especially the ten year journey from Python 2 to 3 stuck with me - I feel like we in the broader software community haven't learned that sufficiently.

Haven’t watched this yet but sounds a bit like Revolution OS

Oh yeah, I've seen this YouTube channel before (when they were still honeypot). They've actually done a bunch of documentaries like this for angular, react, node, and others.
