- In the video: The documentary’s origin story starts at CWI in the 1980s, home of the ABC language project. After ABC was dropped, a Christmas-holiday project there became Python; colleagues at CWI were its first users, and it was released from there via Usenet.
- Why it matters: The birthplace of the language; the whole first act of the film is anchored here.
