I love cheese, so no problem on that score. But the problem is, if you actually know where "Python" comes from, you are likely to suspect that said site contains no cheese. I think even GvR mentioned this at PyCon. ;-) OTOH, I guess ironic naming can be cool, too. I'm still a little put off by "Dogpile" though. And isn't there a language called "brainfuck" or something? So "python" is hardly the worst. Reminds me of Slartibartfast's original name in the Hitchhiker's radio scripts -- the point being that he has this really embarrassing name and doesn't want to talk about it. The original joke was funnier (but unbroadcastable). Even now I'm wondering if some filter is going to kill this message. Anyway, "python" could theoretically apply the "bad=good" marketing, although something venomous would probably be more effective.
