    <p><a href="http://www.pycon.it/conference/talks/modello-di-microsimulazione-della-banca-ditalia" rel="noreferrer">Banca d'Italia</a> (roughly the Italian equivalent of the Fed, except that, since the introduction of the Euro, all countries using euros as their currency, including of course Italy, have "outsourced" monetary policy to the European Central Bank) uses Python, is very happy with it, and plans to extend its use. The talk I'm pointing to is in Italian, but if you search around for the authors I think you can find similar papers of theirs in English.</p> <p>Sungard's <a href="http://www.sungard.com/nextgenerationtrading" rel="noreferrer">FrontArena</a>, a widespread "next generation cross-asset trading" system, uses Python (e.g., see <a href="http://www.frontarena.com/templates/course.asp?id=9737" rel="noreferrer">here</a>).</p> <p><a href="http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/arch_d7_2007_08_04.shtml#e783" rel="noreferrer">This post</a> gives a good summary of Python use in banking (as of a couple years ago) with focus on the City of London.</p> <p>Considering how banks like to "play them close to their vest" I think it's amazing that there's as much information as this about the use of Python in banking -- if these few cases "leak", just imagine how many must be staying under wraps!-)</p>

    1. COThank you for the input, it is along the line of what I'm searching for.There is an on-line travel company on the Python success Page. it has transaction processing with interfaces to mainframes, but from 2004. Are there are more interesting and substantial stories out there? Some of the downrated comments below reflect the poor thinking out there and it is those sorts of issues, among others that I hope to put to rest. Mission critical, transaction processing, preferably with interfaces to mainframes is what I'm tying to find, various forms of on-line banking systems.. If not why not?

    2. CO"Why not"? There's not any plus to a company from letting its employees spend time and energy explaining how they use Python internally, so the right question is, why does ANY such spending happens AT ALL?! It's a miracle of geek enthusiasm!-) With no marketing or co-marketing money behind it, it's really totally unreasonable to expect even more. If there were opportunities for e.g. the Develer folks in Italy (Logilab in France, etc -- such firms are all over), I could put you in touch with them... but they have no spare cycles to do free marketing w/no revenue prospects, **OF COURSE**!-)

    3. COThere is a plus, and python is gaining traction for small projects/applications in my extremely large engineering firm. There is tons and tons of FOSS integrated into our large programs--management understands and embraces FOSS. But what the large programs ($billions) aren't doing is making FOSS the very core of their architecture--it simply isn't well supported enough. The notable exception debated below is Linux, but it's heavily supported by lots of companies. Unfortunately, python isn't, yet. Why do you think google hired you and Guido and the other python rockstars?

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
