Taking a look, it turns out we've had "python" in a list of subdomains that
are reserved so nobody can register them through the signup form. The
comment in the source suggests the idea was that we might put a blog at
that URL someday. This seems like a still better use of the name, though.
:-)

I've just gone and renamed the org that was at python-lang.zulipchat.com to
be at python.zulipchat.com. Brett, would you confirm you can log in there
now and everything seems in order?
