"Python" is not a good name, should rename to "Athon"

Clever! But "typoes" is a typo :-P

    plural: typos
Etymology:
    short for typographical (error)
Date:

===========================
But seriously guys (and gals, if any?), this has to be the most
senseless thread I have seen..
tum-dee-dum...
the OP must have been "counting flowers on the wall"...

If the OP's advice is to be followed - what shall we do, pray tell,
with the names of all the existing lovely libraries and apps that we
are so used to? Surely they all have to be changed over to keep up
with such progress?!

Numpy => NumAth?
wxPython => wxAthon?
PyAlaMode => AthAlaMode?
etc.

FWIW, an ASP is also a snake...but that's another discussion. Shall we
start one? I think NOT..

This has been an entertaining break from the ordinary, but let's get
back to something more useful.

Cheers,
