"python - is of course a Monty Python reference" I had no idea! Makes me love it even more.

  Wait till you find out why the IDE that comes with the official Python package is called IDLE ;)

    Or read through Python's docs and find the hidden Monty Python references :-)

      They are very obvious and not hidden to me.

  And the Python Package Index, https://pypi.python.org/pypi https://pypi.python.org/pypi , is also known as the "Cheese Shop".

    The name lives on in python "wheels".

    I never understood why you would name a package index after something that's literally got nothing to show... I know the reasoning, but it still feels strange.

  I just find it tiresome.

    Oh I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?

  One of the ideas I liked most during the inception of Python 3000 a.k.a. python3 has been to rename python3 to blackadder. Another snake, another great british comedy.
