python的作者叫什么_作者的来历是什么？

我的猜测是，这是从过去包装元数据并不常见的时候。

在PEP 8中，鼓励使用最高级别变量保存正在使用的版本控制系统的修订id。这可以追溯到2001年5月1日。PEP 396将取代模块版本属性。

对于作者，python dev邮件列表中有一篇关于这个问题的文章。这个可以追溯到2001年3月1日。作者质疑“作者”的用法：“接下来是什么？__可爱的签名。

既然政治公众人物中没有提及，我们就不必担心作者。无论如何，打包元数据是我们的朋友。Ping just checked in this:

I'm slightly uncomfortable with the __credits__ variable inserted

here. First of all, __credits__ doesn't really describe the

information given. Second, doesn't this info belong in the CVS

history? I'm not for including random extracts of a module's history

in the source code -- this is more likely than not to become out of

date. (E.g. from the CVS log it's not clear why my contribution

deserves a mention while Tim's doesn't -- it looks like Tim probably

spent a lot more time thinking about it than I did.)

Anothor source of discomfort is that there's absolutely no standard

for this kind of meta-data variables. We've got __version__, and I

believe we once agreed on that (in 1994 or so :-). But __author__?

__credits__? What next -- __cute_signoff__?
