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?
