The most direct example of a Linux Python user is Red Hat. They use Python extensively for their system administration tools and configuration tools.
Other companies using Python include DigitalCreations, who received venture capital on the condition that they released the source to their Web authoring system, Zope, which is written in Python, and which uses Python as the extension scripting language.
Notable programmers who have joined the Python camp include Eric Raymond, who has chosen Python as the implementation language for his Trove project, and Bruce Eckel, author of Thinking in Java , who says "Python has the potential of being an exceptionally productive language" (to learn about Eckel's Python Project Workshop, see Resources).
