where "..." is "Well, the creator of the language was a fan of Monty
Python. So he decided to call the language python. Now, when they needed
a logo, they just decieded to reinterpret 'python' and made the logo out
of snakes. When now somebody sees a snake in programming context he
thinks of 'python', the only language whose name *sounds* like the name
of a snake."
But you're right. With 'python' it's anyways a lot more obvious than
with 'D'.
