'The' standard-work w.r.t. Python (Programming Python, by
Mark Lutz) is literally soaked with tongue-in-cheek
references to Monty Python, all-ther-way from page one to
~800.
On page 65 of my edition (ISBN 1-56592-197-6), the section
"What's in a name" explicitly refers to the descent of the
Python name from the Monty Python origin.

From The Python
Tutorial:
By the way, the language is named after the
BBC
show “Monty Python’s Flying Circus”
and has nothing
to do
with reptiles. Making references to Monty Python
skits in documentation is not
only allowed,
it is encouraged!
Chapter 3 has some SPAM. 4.7.2
introduces the parrot
and cheese shop functions. 5.1.2 has three more pythons.
5.6 has the holy grail. Finally in 7.1, the knights who
say 'Ni' have spam and
eggs. I know the
Bicycle Repair Man shows up, but I cannot remember
where. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

This situation begs for a reasonably absurd solution,
particularly if it ever gets to court and straight faces are
needed. Let us hope the groundswell grows for one of the
alternative solutions such as:
The parties can compare legal fees. The party that has
expended the most can choose from Python or one of the
leading, tastier names such as Piethong or Pithong.
