| occupation = Software developer | awards = PSF Distinguished Service Award }}Tim Peters is an American{{Citation needed|reason=Plenty of evidence in the PyCon interview video that Peters is US-resident, but need confirmation of US citizenship|date=September 2018}} software developer who created the Timsort hybrid sorting algorithm, was a major contributor to the Python programming language and its original CPython implementation, and is prominent in the Python community. A pre-1.0 CPython user,[1] he was among the group of early adopters who contributed to the detailed design of the language in its early stages.[2] He later created the Timsort algorithm (based on earlier work on the use of "galloping" search)[3] which has been used in Python since version 2.3{{Citation needed|reason=Add a relevant citation to Timsort so that it can be copied and pasted to here ;) |date=September 2018}}, as well as in other widely-used computing platforms[4][5][6]. He has also contributed the doctest and timeit modules to the Python standard library.[7] Peters also wrote the Zen of Python, intended as a statement of Python's design philosophy, which was incorporated into the official Python literature as Python Enhancement Proposal 20 and in the Python interpreter as an easter egg.[8] He contributed the [https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/python-cookbook/0596001673/ch17.html chapter on algorithms] to the Python Cookbook.[9] From 2001 to 2014 he was active as a member of the Python Software Foundation's board of directors. Peters was an influential contributor to Python mailing lists.[10] He is also a highly-ranked contributor to Stack Overflow, mostly for answers relating to Python.[11][7] Peters' past employers include Kendall Square Research.[12][13] Tim Peters was granted the Python Software Foundation's [https://www.python.org/community/awards/psf-distinguished-awards/#id1 Distinguished Service Award for 2017].[7][10] See also
