"At the end of August, Python: The Documentary premiered on YouTube, where you can watch it for free. It's an 84-minute film tracing Python's journey from Amsterdam side project to the world's most popular programming language: Produced by CultRepo (formerly Honeypot) and directed by Ida Bechtle, the documentary explores Python's evolution and the community that shaped it. It features Guido van Rossum and key contributors like Mariatta and recent Real Python Podcast guest, Travis Oliphant. The documentary also highlights the important role of PyLadies and addresses controversial topics including the Python 2 to 3 transition."

JetBrains The State of Python 2025 and the Stack Overflow 2025 Developer Survey revealed Python's remarkable growth: Python usage jumped seven percentage points to reach 57.9% of all developers, marking one of the largest year-over-year gains for any established language. Another exciting survey result is that 50% of respondents have two years or less of professional coding experience:"
