This makes your taste on the matter dubious. Such choice of a name implies either a claim to the fame of the Person that's devoid of substance. Or else a degree of carelessness about name capture that casts doubt on the quality of the language design. Or else a claim by the language designers/namers to themselves borrow from the Person while destining the language to grunt practitioners not expected to have any (further) need to refer to said Person. Not serious - not even serious marketing, IMHO. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
