looking for a name for a python SIP phone

[Anthony Baxter]

So I've implemented a first cut at a pure-Python SIP (VoIP) phone, and
now I need a name for it. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any
Monty Python sketches involving a telephone - can anyone else? Other names?

(As an aside, it's impressive (to me) that this can be done in python -
a bit of a 'bah' to those people who think that an interpreted language
is "too slow" for complex tasks)

Yes, it will be released as open source.

Were do it will be published ? I had from some time the idea to implement a
free open source multiplatform Spyke system (www.spyke.com), using an
already existing Distributed Hash Table code in python (Khashmir).

The idea is to get a free decentralized internet telephony system, with a
very low cost of devellopment ....
Which voice encoding do you use ?

Hmm, I have no cultural reference for the Monty Python show, but.... let me
think....

PyPhone, the trivial one.
Voice over Python: Voopy.
PyTalk.
Telython, the python telephone.

just some, proposal, not very creative, but, something is something.

All right, did anyone else translate "SIP" as "Strangers in Paradise"?

Nope. Is Strangers in Paradise a Proposed Standard RFC?

How about something from the Dead Parrot sketch? I'm picturing
Michael Palin yelling at the demised bird, "HELLO, POLLY!" so maybe
"Parrot" or "Polly" would work.
