python success story

[Max M. Stalnaker]

I urged a friend from Boeing to use python on a personal project. He liked it
and repeatedly urged a Boeing developer to use it. Python is on the list of
approved languages at Boeing. The developer wrote a thousand line enterprise
level program in Python. He reports that it would have take ten times the
lines of code in another language.

I have a contact at Boeing who acts as the Python "product manager" -
once we can identify the user he might also be able to help.
