Python FAQ Entry

1.2. Why is it called Python?
Apart from being a computer scientist, I'm also a fan of "Monty Python's =
Flying Circus" (a BBC comedy series from the seventies, in the -- =
unlikely -- case you didn't know). It occurred to me one day that I =
needed a name that was short, unique, and slightly mysterious. And I =
happened to be reading some scripts from the series at the time... So =
then I decided to call my language Python.=20
By now I don't care any more whether you use a Python, some other snake, =
a foot or 16-ton weight, or a wood rat as a logo for Python!=20

PS. the last line came from the nutshell books that use a picture and =
"Buy the snake book"

Michael, looked at your new web site & it looks great. One question =
though. It says powered by 'Python', is that as in Colt Python?

Some people might have noticed some Strange messages on the list =
here what is happening.
Well everyone, we know what happen last weekend, the sailnet list =
took a hit. Not liking the list being down I set up a new listserver =
under http://www.rhodes22.org/mailman/listinfo/rhodes22-list .=20
1)It is a commercial grade server controlled by us
2)It is fast, message turnaround is under 1 minute, I make sure it =
stays that way(sailnet seems to be 2 hours)
3)attachment are ok(we control it)
4)The footer lines are for the list benefit, not to sell ad space
5)when people sign up they get the rhodes22 charter
6)The archive system is useable, bet even that will be improved
7)The control screen are simple and understandable
8)We control it to make it fit your needs
Well at this point I built it, it is open to all comers, are we =
ready for it?
