umm, was just wondering, does the python mascot have a name ? We are naming the
conference rooms in our office you see :o).
Also, is there a place I could get some neat, good quality pics of the python ?

I always assumed it was Monty, but I confess to not having the slightest
factual basis for this belief.
All the best,

To be honest, Monty really makes the most sense to me for a mascot
name... now if we can only get past all that damn copyright infringement ;)

My dad's nickname was Monty. Some friends of my son, Chris, call him Monty
as well. I doubt either of them would object. (Dad's gone, Chris does a
little Python programming from time-to-time.) I say go for it...

Well, so Monty it is ! ...btw, did you know, the Camel
( http://dev.perl.org/perl6/rfc/343.html) doesn't have a name either ? ...looks
like Duke ( http://www.java.com/en/dukeszone/) is the only dude with a name
....but then duke is not an animal (wtf is it ?), so it had to be called something !

Well, we could call the perl camel Joe but I don't know if the perlcores
(read: hardcore PERL users) would be down for that ;)

Hmmm. Perl is like smoking, it feels great and gives you cancer. Yes,
there's definitely potential here. ;)

Nope. If it was Dutch it would probably be Odie
Damn.

Yes ! Monty sounds much better ! ...also imagine the expression on the PHB's
face if this were to happen ...
PHB: So, why is the language called python ?
DEV: Well, it is named after Monty Python.
PHB: Eh, but you just said the mascot was called Monty. Do you mean the
language was named after it's mascot ??!!??
DEV: Eh, yeah. They spent a lot of time deciding the mascot and naming it,
before they designed the language.

Just reinforces the central truth. The mascot doesn't
*have* a name. Most things don't. You're welcome to assign
it the name "Monty" if you want.

Most things don't have names?
I'll believe you if you can give me a list of ten things that don't have
names.

Chairs, couches, tables, desks, beds, cars, pens, phones, trees, windows
(can you tell how I came up with this list? ;). Those are all object types
without names to identify individual instances. "Ed's chair" and "John's
blue car" aren't names to me, just descriptions. It's like saying "that
temporary object on line 24 of function foo".
Really, how many things *do* have names? People, pets, computers, ships,
and a few guns?
