no idea. I'm not even sure that in 1996 I had heard of python. Not sure why folks on this thread want to keep bringing python into the mix, especially in a 1996 context. Others have stated that python isn't and never has been the core to Google's search engine.

So at some point they decided to try out Python for certain tasks.
