The Python Package Index, which is the repository for 3rd-party packages, was 
originally named the "Cheese Shop", after this famous Monty Python sketch:

https://wiki.python.org/moin/CheeseShop

In fact, https://cheeseshop.python.org will redirect to https://pypi.org/

The editor included with Python is named IDLE 
(https://docs.python.org/3/library/idle.html), in honor of Monty Python's Eric 
Idle.
