Hy folks

A friend of mine told me something about Guido and google developing
an Ubuntu distribution based and totaly oriented for the Python
appliction development. I googled for it with no results. Is it
possible that My Buddy is trying to foole me or is it possible that
someone knows something about that.

not sure about a version tuned for python, but wikipedia claims that
there's a custom packaging used internally:

maybe he's mixing that one up with this one:

In addition to Fredrick's reply: Canonical, the company that develops
Ubuntu, uses Python *extensively* for their development, so when it comes
to the number of Python modules assembled as packages for a package manager
(apt, in the case of Ubuntu), Ubuntu will probably have the most. I use
Ubuntu for Python development, and find it very well suited.

It's worth noting that Ubuntu's creator is a fan of python.
So it comes as no surprise that the distribution has a lot of
components written in this language.
Also, and as far as I know, the use of python is encouraged for making
contributions.
