The PHP language has PECL and PEAR, Python has a PyPI ( Python Package Index ) repository, Ruby has RubyGems, Lua has LuaRocks, Haskell has Hackage and an associated installer / make clone cabal ; but none of these are as large as the CPAN.

The subgenre has also been represented in television and film, such as in the television series I Dream of Jeannie, Kröd Mändoon, and the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Dia is written in C, and has a system of extensions that can be written in Python.

* NLTK a Python toolkit that has an Earley parser.

In a Not the Nine O ' Clock News sketch, a bishop who has made a scandalous film called The Life of Christ is hauled over the coals by a representative of the " Church of Python ", claiming that the film is an attack on " Our Lord, John Cleese " and on the members of Python, who, in the sketch, are the objects of Britain's true religious faith.

* Python has the same structure as Perl, but unlike Perl includes it in the syntax of the language.

He has also appeared in several films directed by fellow Python Terry Gilliam and made notable appearances in other films such as A Fish Called Wanda, for which he won the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role.

Thus the formation of the Monty Python troupe has been referred to as a result of Cleese's desire to work with Palin and the chance circumstances that brought the other four members into the fold.

Each member of Monty Python has an asteroid named after him.

Python ( programming language )' s standard library ( since 2. 6 ) also has a function in the module, that takes multiple sorted iterables, and merges them into a single iterator.

In the United States, an introduced population of Burmese pythons, Python molurus bivittatus, has existed as an invasive species in the Everglades National Park since the late 1990s.

Many species have been hunted aggressively, which has decimated some, such as the Indian python, Python molurus.

Larger specimens usually eat animals about the size of a house cat, but larger food items are known: some large Asian species have been known to take down adult deer, and the African rock python, Python sebae, has been known to eat antelope.

Python has a large and comprehensive standard library.

CPython, the reference implementation of Python, is free and open source software and has a community-based development model, as do nearly all of its alternative implementations.

Apollo's role as the slayer of the Python led to his association with battle and victory ; hence it became the Roman custom for a paean to be sung by an army on the march and before entering into battle, when a fleet left the harbour, and also after a victory had been won.

Strange animations between sketches were crafted in the final episodes by the then-unknown Terry Gilliam, who also graduated to Python – part of his " Christmas cards " animation reappeared there in the " Joy to the World " segment.

It can also be scripted using the Python programming language.

While primarily written in C ++, Python bindings are also available.

Emacs Lisp can also function as a scripting language, much like the Unix Bourne shell, Perl, Python, scsh, or GNU Guile.

Idle also led the other surviving Python members and Chapman's family and close friends in a rendition of " Always Look on the Bright Side of Life " from the film Life of Brian.

It also made a brief appearance in the 1977 film Jabberwocky where it was being held by King Bruno the Questionable ( the latter film was directed by Terry Gilliam, starred Michael Palin, and featured a cameo by Terry Jones, all members of Monty 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 ).

Monty Python's Life of Brian, also known as Life of Brian, is a 1979 British comedy film written, directed and largely performed by the Monty Python comedy team.

Each Python ( especially Terry Gilliam ) also played various bystanders and hangers-on.

They also expressed disappointment in Muggeridge, whom all in Python had previously respected as a satirist.

An album was also released by Monty Python in 1979 in conjunction with the film.

" Always Look on the Bright Side of Life " is also featured in Eric Idle's Spamalot, a Broadway musical based upon Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and was sung by the rest of the Monty Python group at Graham Chapman's memorial service and at the Monty Python Live At Aspen special.

The documentary ( in a slightly extended form ) was one of the special features on the 2007 DVD re-release – the " Immaculate Edition ", also the first Python release on Blu-ray.

In the audio version on The Monty Python Matching Tie and Handkerchief ( MT & H ) album and other live and recorded versions, Cleese also mentions Greek feta.

They were also in the team of writers working for The Frost Report, whose other members included Frank Muir, Barry Cryer, Marty Feldman, Ronnie Barker, Ronnie Corbett, Dick Vosburgh and future Monty Python members Graham Chapman, John Cleese and Eric Idle.

The show also featured musical numbers by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, including future Monty Python musical collaborator Neil Innes.

This feature, named the off-side rule, is also found in other languages such as Haskell and Python.

Like other dynamic languages, Python is often used as a scripting language, but is also used in a wide range of non-scripting contexts.

Python 3. 0 ( also called Python 3000 or py3k ), a major, backwards-incompatible release, was released on 3 December 2008 after a long period of testing.

Many languages have been implemented using both compilers and interpreters, including BASIC, C, Lisp, Pascal, and Python.

The film would not have been made without former Beatle and Python fan George Harrison, who set up Handmade Films to help fund it at a cost of £ 3 million ( a move later described by Eric Idle as the " world's most expensive cinema ticket ").

Python biographer George Perry notes, " The People's Liberation Front of Judea conducts its meetings as though they have been convened by a group of shop stewards ".

Many of its major features have been backported to the backwards-compatible Python 2. 6 and 2. 7.

Python has been awarded a TIOBE Programming Language of the Year award twice ( 2007, 2010 ), which is given to the language with the greatest growth in popularity over the course of a year, as measured by the TIOBE index.

The language has map (), reduce () and filter () functions, and the list comprehensions added in Python 2. 0 have since been extended with comprehensions for dictionaries and sets, as well as generator expressions.

Python has been successfully embedded in a number of software products as a scripting language, including in finite element method software such as Abaqus, 3D animation packages such as Blender, Cinema 4D, Lightwave, Houdini, Maya, modo, MotionBuilder, Softimage, the visual effects compositor Nuke, and 2D imaging programs like GIMP, Inkscape, Scribus and Paint Shop Pro.

Because some users of the Python programming language found the use of regular expressions limiting, an extension to Python has been introduced, which makes it possible to use SNOBOL pattern matching in Python programs.

Yacc has also been rewritten for other languages, including Ratfor, ML, Ada, Pascal, Java, Python, Ruby and Common Lisp.

In recent years Idle has been criticised for commercialising the legacy of Monty Python.

" Of Spamalot, Anderson opined that " Python was formed in reaction to exactly the kind of lazy comedy represented by Spamalot – what Michael Palin once described as the ' easy, catch-phrase reaction ' the members had all been forced to pander to in their previous writing jobs ".

The art and dance competitions pre-dated the athletic portion of the games, and were said to have been started by Apollo after he killed Python and set up the oracle at Delphi.

On the developer side, XPCOM lets you write components in C ++, C, JavaScript, Python, or other languages for which special bindings have been created, and compile and run those components on dozens of different platforms, including these and others where Mozilla itself is supported.

This class has been replaced by 6. 01, which uses Python.

An excellent swimmer, Python reticulatus has been reported far out at sea and has colonised many small islands within its range.

* In the Monty Python short " The Crimson Permanent Assurance ", business clerks-turned-pirates sail a pirated building and attack competing businesses to build a business empire, when the narrator reads " or so it would have been, if certain modern theories concerning the shape of the world had not proved to be disastrously wrong.
