Welcome to a very special episode. This is the 100th episode of Talk Python to Me. It's the perfect

chance to take a moment and look at where we've come from and where we're going, not just with regard to

this podcast, but for Python in general. And who better to do this with than Python's inventor himself,

Guido Van Rossum? In this episode, we discuss how Guido got into programming,

where Python came from, and why, and Python's bright future with Python 3. This is Talk Python to

me. Episode 100 recorded January 18th, 2017.

I'm a developer in many senses of the word because I make these applications but I also use

software design in both cases it's about design patterns anyone can get the job done it's the

execution that matters I have many interests sometimes can flow. Welcome to Talk Python to me, a weekly podcast on Python, the language, the libraries, the ecosystem, and the personalities.

Hey, everyone. I just want to take a moment and reflect on this milestone of 100 episodes

and say a big thank you to everyone out there who's listening. The reason this podcast is

successful, the reason I've kept doing it is because so many of you tell me that you appreciate what I'm doing,

that you enjoy all the guests that I have on the show. So I want to say thank you because without you,

obviously, I would not have 100 episodes. I get to live basically my dream job. I talk to all these

brilliant people in the tech industry and I get to share it with you and get all the great

feedback that so many of you give me. So thanks and we really have a special guest this episode

with Guido and a look at Python over the years, the past, present, and future. And I really hope

you enjoy that. If you're out there thinking, hey, I really love the show and I like to support it,
