Monty Python references are standard within the community. There are projects named Eric, IDLE, Bicycle Repairman, Parrot, etc.


While wearing a Python jacket I actually had someone ask me if it was standard practice to leave monty python references in comments. I had no idea how to answer. (Note that this was at a technical college, not like someone off the street asked me).


The official documentation is liberally sprinkled with such references, so I don't think anyone would mind.
