Contact Google. I'd venture that the chances of support are not low. Not only do they have the mentality, they also had Guido van Rossum, python's inventor and head developer, employed for years. And they are certainly well-known 8)
- chris_mahan 14y agoGuido moved to Dropbox recently.
- anyfoo 14y agoI know, I used the past tense! But I doubt they dropped support for python overnight because he left %)

- jdotjdot 14y agoAlso Python is one of their primary languages in-house!
- gamegoblin 14y agoTo say that Python is one of google's main languages might be a bit of an overstatement. I think that they are mainly a C++/Go/Java shop and use Python for glue code, or so I have been told by employees. This could be wrong, though.
- archangel_one 14y ago"Glue code" might be a little unfair, but it does tend to be much more used for internal tools than customer-facing code. I don't know official numbers, but I would think it'd still be still the #3 language after C++ and Java.

- vidar 14y agoActually he is at Dropbox now, but contacting Google is still a solid try.
- hkmurakami 14y agoDropbox has a Dublin, Ireland office. We can probably get Dropbox's support from this front. http://techcrunch.com/2012/12/03/dropbox-follows-the-tech-crowd-opens-dublin-office-says-first-european-office-will-be-hub-for-international-ops/ http://techcrunch.com/2012/12/03/dropbox-follows-the-tech-cr...
