Python 3.0 should have just been named something like "Anaconda" or "Boa"

Actually (and etymologically), Python is an eponym, named after Monty. Hence, any spin-off should be called Basil or Brian or, a trifle presumptuously perchance, Holy Grail or Meaning of Life.

Considering Python 3.0 is supposed to be an *improvement* over previous Pythons, I think a more appropriate name would be "Benny Hill" or "Chris Rock".

Do you mind if we call you Bruce, just to keep it clear?

Okay then - I'm assuming that your reply (being the Mother of all Non Sequiturs) is intended facetiously, rather than being the epitome of your humour-appreciation standards.

If this is not the case, then I would argue that "Brian" is the more appropriate name, since his fame and reputation were also based on delusions and misunderstandings.
