This is reflected in the origin of the name ( derived from the television series Monty Python's Flying Circus ), in the common practice of using Monty Python references in example code, and in an occasionally playful approach to tutorials and reference materials.

The Greeks derived this place name from the verb, pythein ( πύθειν, " to rot "), which refers to the decomposition of the body of the monstrous Python after she was slain by Apollo.

References to Beachcomber are strongly pervasive in Private Eye, and there is a possible, but more tenuous, line of descent from it, via the Goon Show, to Monty Python.

In contrast, a mark of unpythonic code is that it attempts to write C ++ ( or Lisp, Perl, or Java ) code in Python — that is, provides a rough transcription rather than an idiomatic translation of forms from another language.

For many operating systems, Python is a standard component ; it ships with most Linux distributions, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and with OS X and can be used from the terminal.

* The statement ( from Python 2. 5 ), which encloses a code block within a context manager ( for example, acquiring a lock before the block of code is run, and releasing the lock afterwards ).

* Conditional expressions in Python are written as ( different in order of operands from the operator common to many other languages ).

Liddell Scott provides other sources for the shortened form of this verb, including Acusilaus ( 5th century BC ), Joannes Laurentius Lydus ( 4th century AD ) and the Scholiast on Aeschylus, Eumenides, who cites Pindar relating how the earth tried to tartaro " cast down " Apollo after he overcame the Python.

In 1998, this episode (" Murder at Tea-Time ") was repeated to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Blue Peter, as part of a section entitled " Spoof Peter ", which also featured ( among others ) the Python skit " How to Do It ".

While Jython technically implements the Python language specification ( hence it " is python ") the implementation has some differences and incompatibilities with CPython ( the reference distribution )

* " Sing As We Go " ( later parodied by Monty Python as " Sit on My Face ")

* Python ( originally called the " Cheetah "-based on Bill Cushenberry's " Dream Rod ")

The single ( which was backed with two tracks from Contractual Obligation, " I Bet You They Won't Play This Song on the Radio " and " I'm So Worried ") also doubled up as promotion for the recently-released compilation Monty Python Sings.

Berkeley DB is written in C with API bindings for C ++, PHP, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, Smalltalk, and most other programming languages.

DB XML is written in C ++ and supports multiple language bindings, including C ++, Java ( via JNI ), Perl and Python.

In some films, knitted string spray-painted with a metallic paint is used instead of actual mail in order to cut down on cost ( an example being Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which was filmed on a very small budget ).

The intermediate representation can be compiled once and for all ( as in Java ), each time before execution ( as in Perl or Ruby ), or each time a change in the source is detected before execution ( as in Python ).

The romance tradition of Arthur is particularly evident and, according to critics, successfully handled in Robert Bresson's Lancelot du Lac ( 1974 ), Eric Rohmer's Perceval le Gallois ( 1978 ) and perhaps John Boorman's fantasy film Excalibur ( 1981 ); it is also the main source of the material utilised in the Arthurian spoof Monty Python and the Holy Grail ( 1975 ).

The following is a Python implementation of HMAC-MD5:

* In programming languages such as Lisp and Python, lambda is an operator used to denote anonymous functions or closures, following the usage of lambda calculus.

An example of this use of lambda in the Python language is this section of computer code that sorts a list alphabetically by the last character of each entry:
