python success story

I urged a friend from Boeing to use python on a personal project. He liked it
and repeatedly urged a Boeing developer to use it. Python is on the list of
approved languages at Boeing. The developer wrote a thousand line enterprise
level program in Python. He reports that it would have take ten times the
lines of code in another language.

Great! Now if this could be contributed as an article for
pythonology.org, it would be preserved for posterity...!-)

I have a contact at Boeing who acts as the Python "product manager" -
once we can identify the user he might also be able to help.
