Industry-Trusted Python, Perl and Tcl
Enhance productivity and mitigate risk with secure, commercially supported ActivePython, ActivePerl and ActiveTcl.
In fact, many enterprise developers use ActiveState’s distributions – ActivePython, ActivePerl or ActiveTcl – which include the most common libraries out-of-the-box, to reduce onboarding time and speed up development. However, the free Community Editions do not provide the full benefits available to enterprises, such as the ability to deploy beyond developer workstations or protect against security vulnerabilities for older language versions.
That’s why most large organizations use enterprise-level ActivePython, ActivePerl or ActiveTcl.
ActiveState provides supported builds customized to your use cases, vetted against security vulnerabilities and licensed to deploy beyond development, so your teams can spend less time maintaining a “one size fits all” solution and more time being productive, with Python, Perl or Tcl environments that are 100% compatible with open source.
