If anyone from Japan, Singapore, Taiwan or Israel would like to contact The Python Papers, we would love to hear from you as we do not currently have any contacts from these countries.
Hi. I'm a Python user from Israel, currently reading Python Papers :-). Here's is my attempt at a (subjective) picture of Python usage in Israel. Israel has been a mostly Perl country in the 90s; there were a few cases of internal Python use but no public awareness. This century Python awareness and usage has risen sharply. We formed a PUG_ (CC:ed) in 2005, holding monthly meetings with 5-25 attendance. In 2006 the established Perl conference was expanded to a very successful (IMHO) 3-day conference_ on all "P" languages, including a solid Python track. I could name at least a dozen companies seriously using Python. .. _The Python Papers: http://pythonpapers.cgpublisher.com/ .. _PUG: http://wiki.python.org.il/Main_Page .. _confenrence: http://www.osdc.org.il/2006/ BTW, Perl is still popular, and PHP and Ruby are also used a lot here. -- Beni Cherniavsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (I read email only on weekends)
