Who cares? No one looking for special Python programming tips will
use only "python" as search term.

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.

You're not serious, are you?

BTW, PHP has already been confused with a drug in USA.

Now, python3000 is coming. It's the best time to rename!

IMHO: No. Python has a good reputation and renaming would create
confusion.

Athon is a good candidate, you could provide better names.

In Athon, the first letter "A" could pronounce as [ e ] .

This is confusing and a boring of-the-shelf name.
