Looks like a plus sign to me, evoking the idea of "incremental improvement". A cross (as in Christian symbol) really has an elongated leg to the bottom. But it most closely resembles two snakes (see the little eyes at the top and bottom?), presumably pythons. Personally, I like the stylized snakes, and the symmetry of the logo, a big improvement over the cartooney cutesy snakes we've seen in the past. -- Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
