This is taken straight from the Python FAQ:
1.2. Why is it called Python?
Apart from being a computer scientist, I'm also a fan of "Monty Python's
Flying Circus" (a BBC comedy series from the seventies, in the
-- unlikely -- case you didn't know). It occurred to me one day that
I needed a name that was short, unique, and slightly mysterious. And
I happened to be reading some scripts from the series at the time...
So then I decided to call my language Python.
By now I don't care any more whether you use a Python, some other snake,
a foot or 16-ton weight, or a wood rat as a logo for Python!
Of course any official logo would likely require a PEP and the BDFL's
endorcement. But before that it might be an idea to see if it becomes
popular as a de facto logo first.
