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 , is also known as the "Cheese Shop".

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.

The name lives on in python "wheels".

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.

I just find it tiresome.

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