All attempts to link Python the language with Python the snake are
ultimately ill-advised, due to the origin of the name Python - see
http://www.entrenet.com/~groedmed/greekm/mythpyth.html

Much better to stick to a Monty Python-inspired theme, incorporating a
mascot like this http://solair.eunet.yu/~janko/birdman.gif but with the
BDFL's smiling face substituted, of course. Or maybe the Python Software
Foundation could ask Terry Gilliam to design a logo, pro bono. Just tell
him that every Python user would then be honour-bound to see all his
future films (that should increase their box-office take by at least
100%...I can't understand why Munchausen, or Brazil weren't
blockbusters, and what a pity The Man Who Killed Don Quixote was
stillborn - see
http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,2698920a1870,00.html).
