Python conference slogan

[Shane Hathaway]

Here's a Python slogan suggestion by Ken Manheimer.

One Nation Under Under Python

I thought it was pretty funny. I don't know if international folks will
get it, though. :-)

It's from the Pledge of Allegiance:

I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

The "under under" part of course refers to Python's special methods.

Ah, thanks. That was the hard part: under -> underscore.
"Under under" made me think of spluttering :)

Mit freundlichen Gruessen,

Yeah, as an Englishman, I don't get it either (despite living in the US).

Ok, it's definitely not good. It's a cross between the U.S. Pledge of
Allegience and Python's use of double-underscores. It was *not*
intended to suggest that Python replaces deity. ;-)

Any creative suggestions?

Actually, it seems to bring up mostly fascistic connotations, esp. if
you are not American. Throw in the fact that we like to refer to Guido
as BDFL, and you are conveying a very unfortunate image ;-).

Hello,

What about:-

'He's not a static type, he's a very naughty variable' - Life of Brian
'Code Away, Code Away, Code Away' - from Run Away in Holy Grail
'Number 3, the Python' - from the larch sketch
'We are the coders who say nee' - from the knight in the holy grail
'Good god man, I've thrown you an exception It's nothing a mere
NoneType' holy grail again

The joy of being English is you grow up with this stuff!

Cheers,

Neil

These slogans are meaningless to (Monty) Python outsiders. As I
understand this thread there is a need for a slogan that is short,
not too hard to understand and unforgettable (probably a definition
of the word slogan). Python insiders don't need a slogan at all.

Something like

- Python - there's no better way to code.
[stolen from: Lufthansa - there's no better way to fly]

- Your brain would choose Python.
[stolen from: Your cat would by Whiskas :)]

- Python fits your brain.

- Unleash your brain with Python.

- Python - the natural programming language

That's all. Now I'm going to do something useful. :)
