There was an article in Python Journal dated about 7/98 in which
|
|
Andy Feit of Infoseek says that they still use Python heavily and
|
|
that they make Python available to customers who want to customize
|
|
there Intranet seek engines. A relevant quote from that article:
|
|
|
|
"The other thing that Python gives our product is that, when
|
|
customers come to us and ask 'Can you customize it to do such and
|
|
such?', we almost alwasy say yes. ... We have patching points in a
|
|
language that is flexible enough to do almost anything."
|
|
|
|
Feit also makes comments that indicate confidence that his
|
|
customers will be able to make the Infoseek engine do anything.
|
|
And that just makes me drool with envy. I wish my company's product
|
|
could do that. I'm trying to make it so.

Python Journal is at:

but when I tried a few minutes ago, I was denied access to this
|
|
article.
