looking for a name for a python SIP phone


So I've implemented a first cut at a pure-Python SIP (VoIP) phone, and
now I need a name for it. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any
Monty Python sketches involving a telephone - can anyone else? Other names?

(As an aside, it's impressive (to me) that this can be done in python -
a bit of a 'bah' to those people who think that an interpreted language
is "too slow" for complex tasks)

Yes, it will be released as open source.

All right, did anyone else translate "SIP" as "Strangers in Paradise"?

Nope. Is Strangers in Paradise a Proposed Standard RFC?

Were do it will be published ? I had from some time the idea to implement a
free open source multiplatform Spyke system (www.spyke.com), using an
already existing Distributed Hash Table code in python (Khashmir).

The idea is to get a free decentralized internet telephony system, with a
very low cost of devellopment ....
Which voice encoding do you use ?

Hmm, I have no cultural reference for the Monty Python show, but.... let me
think....

PyPhone, the trivial one.
Voice over Python: Voopy.
PyTalk.
Telython, the python telephone.

just some, proposal, not very creative, but, something is something.

How about something from the Dead Parrot sketch? I'm picturing
Michael Palin yelling at the demised bird, "HELLO, POLLY!" so maybe
"Parrot" or "Polly" would work.
