The language is Python, as in Monty, you know. And it's only marketed for geeks. I fail to see how a naming convention based on something that bring 90%+ of geeks joy is any worse than naming programming languages after letters of the alphabet followed by addition symbols or pound signs.
- DanielBMarkham 17y agoI think it's a great naming convention. Guys, I get the reference. I understand the two are related. Just wondering how many products can come up with spinoffs that fit into the Python lore until you either run out of lore or it all starts running together, that's all.

- tvon 17y agoA 6 member comedy troop active for a decade and a half including 45 episodes of their sketch comedy show and 4 feature-length films, not including the solo works of John Cleese and Terry Gilliam which could easily be referenced in offshoot python projects. That, plus the snake reference which is used here and there (the 'egg' packages and the 'snakes and rubies' meetup, for example). Can anyone think of any other popular software project that has that kind of naming pool to pull from?
