with only a few simple parameters, accurately replicates the movement of flocks of birds and schools of fishes. The movement appears so realistic that it won an Academy Award in 1987 in the movie “Batman Returns.”
Highly complex behavior can be explained by the simple reactions of many independent agents all working with incomplete information. The movement of an opinion in a society may also appear to be incredibly complex, but it also the result of many independent agents making straightforward calculations with incomplete information.

In the fall of 2019, the Python Software Foundation and JetBrains together conducted the official third annual Python Developers Survey. Much like the previous survey, we set out to identify the latest trends and gather insight into what the world of Python development looks like in 2019. The insights from 24 thousand Python developers from more than 150 different countries have helped us get a picture of the Python community.
