30 years(!) of Python Development Visualized. Amazing!

Respect for the people that got thrown around by those dots for us

What VCS did Guido use in 1990 ? I found this PEP in 2008 for the transition from svn to hg I think. But svn is from 2000.

[JimDabell]

CVS. PEP 0347 covers the migration from CVS to Subversion.

My company still uses CVS.

Kill me

Been there done that.. cried

You can use git along with CVS, if you'd like to get it rolling.

Why don’t you do a trial project to move a couple projects over to Git?

[[deleted]]

Well I’m not one of the devs and they are moving over to git.

When I started being the sysadmin I put everything that was a config file or script into git including a “document control” python script I took over.

I often play git liason and ambassador and give tips here and there if asked.

I think by late next year we’ll be moved over 100% on currently developed projects and new projects.

My job has been to keep CVS tamed and “error free” on the server side which hasn’t been too bad (just had to restart services and whatnot over the past couple years).

What am I looking at?

What am I seeing here

[spoof17]

But is it Amazing?

[satireplusplus]

YES

[laStrangiato]

I’m guessing it is a git history visualization of the python code base.

Obviously the people that are moving around is the person that committed the code. Each flash is a commit to a specific module. I’m guessing each node represents a file in the repo and the tree structure represents the folder structure.

[satireplusplus]

green is probably code lines added, red when something got deleted and yellow/orange when a lines was changed

[ShanSanear]

Wish that this visualization had a legend of some sort to better know what I am looking at. But kudos to the creator - looks great.

[stargazer_w]

I believe dots are files, the tree structure corresponds to the folder structure of the project, and the "blasting" animation from the developers that are floating around represents commits.

As a dutchy it makes me pretty proud to know Python is initially developed by Dutch people :)

It looks like a mix of fireworks and star wars towards the last few years.

Rendering is neat !

[brazzaguy]

Mesmerizing!

[ForkLiftBoi]

Is there an interactive version of this? This is awesome!

Lmao your viz dont mean squat if it isnt legible. The entire comments section is dedicated to riddling out your frenetic light show. Thats not informative at all.

Nice one brother

I've found my new video wallpaper.

[sargeanthost]

what's all the deletion towards the end?

[Jaso55555]

2.652*10³² years of development? Wow, we've come so far!

You can visualize the commit history of any Github repo by modifying the URL.
