First, python also means snake, Monty Python. If we search "python" in
google, emule, many results are not programming resource. If we search
PHP, all results are programming resource.
Second, python also means snake, snake is not a good thing in western
culture. Many people dislike any things relevant to snake. We must
have high regard for the custom.
Now, python3000 is coming. It's the best time to rename!
Athon is a good candidate, you could provide better names.
In Athon, the first letter "A" could pronounce as [ e ] .
Great, now the Google results will just be filled with AMD typoes. :-P
One downside of Athon is that "Python" makes for a good two-letter
abbreviation: py. It sounds nice (hey, pie), and since it ends in a
vowel, is good for project names: PyGTK or pytz or whatever. AtGTK and
attz don't have quite the ring.
