"Python" is not a good name, should rename to "Athon"

Yup! The limits of my musically ability is

Spam, spam, spam, spam.
Lovely spam! Wonderful spaaam!
Lovely spam! Wonderful spam.
Spa-a-a-a-a-a-a-am! Spa-a-a-a-a-a-a-am!

Is that a problem? It's still a hash sign to me.

Note that the notation for the note (!) isn't universal. French speakers for
instance write that one do# and call it "do dièze". C# reads as unpronounceable
linenoise to them.

No problem, but if you know music notation, C# will ring a bell.

In a german text it would be "Cis". And in real musical notation
the "sharpener" doesn't look like '#', only similar.

Strange as it might be, some french speakers also know the english
notation...

The jokes translate just fine in my country, but dare I admit that
python (or Monty Python, rather) is not funny for me either. I think
I've actually heard someone say "that the jokes aren't funny is part of
the humor". I guess some of us will never get it. Now Benny Hill--that's
another story!

If you want a really appropriate name for a programming language, I'd

Konrad Zuse wrote the first high-level programming language, so I think
his name would be a better candidate...
