ActiveState’s Pete Garcin, Director of Product, and Product Marketing Manager, Dana Crane, explain why we’re retiring our decades-old all-in-one distributions like ActivePython & ActivePerl and how the ActiveState Platform provides a modern alternative that streamlines package management and secures Python and Perl from the start of your development cycle.

Learn how you can:

• Streamline package management – Automatically build packages from source and resolve dependencies, reducing time spent configuring and troubleshooting Python/Perl environments.
• Remediate vulnerabilities – Identify, resolve and automatically rebuild a secure environment in minutes, shortcutting the typically lengthy remediation process.
• Secure your software supply chain – Ensure packages are well maintained, vulnerability-free and suitably licensed for commercial use throughout the import-build-consume process, avoiding trojans and security threats.

New to the ActiveState Platform? At ActiveState, we use our Platform to build not only our popular open source language distributions but also custom environments for our enterprise customers (i.e. language builds containing just the packages their application requires). All environments created with the ActiveState Platform are built from source, assessed for security vulnerabilities (CVEs), and can be updated in a timely manner.

Coders can use the Platform for free to build a Python, Perl, or Tcl environment for their project. Enterprise decision-makers can find a suitable tier from our Platform Pricing options or contact Sales.
