Yup, I was aware of the fact of Monty Python roots of the language name. However, you will probably agree that a snake is more associative.
Plus, if to use some characteristic MP feature like a giant foot, I'm not positive that it won't trigger any copyright issues.
I prefer an alternate meaning:
2. A diviner by spirits. ``[Manasses] observed omens, and
appointed pythons.'' --4 Kings xxi. 6 (Douay version).Since Python is a divine language, and conjures up quick solutions to ghastly problems. And, in the spirit of oracles, reflects the wisdom of the languages design. 8-)
Now, how about an icon that conveys something like that? hm... smoke curled around wizard perhaps?
