Fun fact: Python is not named after an animal! It's named after the comedy group Monty Python's Flying Circus.

If I'm not wrong python is named after Monty python TV show and not after a animal

[–] [email protected] 65 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Monty Python, being a comedy troupe, consists of humans, which are a type of animal ;)

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

...Similar to pythons, which happen to be animals as well.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

I'm not sure, but I think that might have been part of the joke, seeing all the comments here.

There's also OCamel and Julia.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Julia is an animal?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 months ago

Yeah, there's a bunch of humans called Julia.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

Yea, Julia is the name of the squirrel that routinely exploits my bird feeder.
