Who's doing the math here -- some magazine article? Even December 1989 until July 2018 isn't 30 years. Therefore September 1990 through July 2018 is definitely less than 30 years. If Wikipedia is just duplicating glorified journalistic fluff then what good is it? <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:216.228.181.182|216.228.181.182]] ([[User talk:216.228.181.182#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/216.228.181.182|contribs]]) 12:44, 12 August 2018 (UTC)</small>
:It's from one of the cited sources, which I think was just rounding up. It obviously differs a bit depending on when you count the start, so rather than coming up with something original I just removed the claim for now. -- [[User:Beland|Beland]] ([[User talk:Beland|talk]]) 18:32, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
==Order of implementations in the infobox==
In the infobox, there is a list of "Major implementations". The list is currently in alphabetical order, but this puts a relatively minor implementation at the beginning. I think listing them in order of importance would be more appropriate. It might be difficult to determine the order of importance, but the [[Python (programming language)#Implementations]] section does a good job of briefly explaining the differences between the versions. As [[CPython]] is the reference implementation, it should be the first listed in the infobox, and other implementations which are highly compliant and support Python 3 should follow. Implementations which have a limited subset of the Python language or standard library should be later in the list, or not included in the infobox at all. Just my opinion, I made an edit to this infobox list on 20 December 2018 and I'm not going to edit war over it.-<span style="font-family:cursive; color:grey;">[[User talk:gadfium|gadfium]]</span> 22:29, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
:Completely agree. Certainly CPython needs to be first; is there an option in the infobox for "other implementations"?

== Nomination of [[:Portal:Python (programming language)]] for deletion ==
<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">[[File:Ambox warning orange.svg|48px|alt=|link=]]</div>A discussion is taking place as to whether '''[[:Portal:Python (programming language)]]''' is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to [[Wikipedia:List of policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]] or whether it should be [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deleted]].
The page will be discussed at [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Haskell (programming language)]] (it's part of a bundled nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the page during the discussion, including to improve the page to address concerns raised in the discussion.

== PEP 8 ==
[[PEP8]] redirects here but is not explained in the article. -- [[User:Beland|Beland]] ([[User talk:Beland|talk]]) 15:48, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
:Good point. I added it in. [[User:Peterl|peterl]] ([[User talk:Peterl|talk]]) 04:51, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
== Languages that influenced Python ==
There is a section ''Languages influenced by Python''. There should also be a section describing what languages that influenced Python. It seems likely to me that some of the features that are listed as being influenced by Python were actually features of languages that existed prior to Python.
