[silly] Does the python mascot have a name ?

[Steve]

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,

John.

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 !

Steve

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. ;)

The Python mascot is called Odi.

"Odi" must be the Dutch for "Monty".

All the best,

Nope. If it was Dutch it would probably be Odie

Monty ;)

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.

All the best,
