Just plonk the O'Reilly book with a big Python on it in front of the judge and ask the judge to what the book refers to. :-). Then tell the judge that asking any IT engineer to what Python refers too, then they will understand it refers to the language.

I have a book Prime Time Freeware for UNIX (ISBN 1-881957-18-7) showing a
copyright of 1992-1995. Under the section languages it lists Python ver, 1.2.
After unpacking the tarball it shows file creation dates from Jan through Apr
1995. Reading the ChangeLog it shows "Release of 1.0.0 BETA (Jan 1
1994)" and has entries up until the final entry on Apr 6 1995. Someplace
in storage I have old InfoMagic CD-ROM distributions of linux dating from apx.
the summer of 1993. I'll have to see if I can find them and see what they
contain.

Hi. Here is what I found, so others will not search again.

gnome python from 1998 (two references so people can't claim one is tricked).

http://ftp.gnom e.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-python/0.90/

and

http://ftp.acc .umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/gnome-python/0.90/

Also searched at ibiblio in pre 1996 linux distributions for python packages and nothing.

On another news, Ximian used python too, as you can see from rpm pbone:

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idp l/2474229/dir/suse_7.x/com/python-gtk-0.6.9-1.ximian.2.i386.rpm.html

And finally, a caldera distributed file :)

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=26&dist=26& amp;size=2253957&name=python-1.5.1-1.src.rpm

where you can find the file

Lib/lib-stdwin/listwin.py

which dates from 1990.

SALUDOS

ALVARO
