I don't know of specifically French linguistic taboos, so I'm unable to answer this. French culture generally doesn't ban words wholesale, even when used in quotes. The very idea that you can't *quote* something despicable is foreign here. But, were it to exist, I have a hard time imagining it would face immediate permanent banning on python-XXX. And I would be against such immediate permanent banning, because that's inappropriately strong and definitive.
