1. Python
in the Greek mythology a serpent or dragon produced from the mud left on the earth after the deluge of Deucalion, a brood of sheer chaos and the dark, who lived in a cave of Parnassus, and was slain by Apollo, who founded the Pythian Games in commemoration of his victory, and was in consequence called Pythius.

1. Python
In the words of its author, “the other scripting
language” (other than Perl, that is).
Python's design is notably clean, elegant, and well thought through; it
tends to attract the sort of programmers who find Perl grubby and exiguous.
Some people revolt at its use of whitespace to define logical structure by
indentation, objecting that this harks back to the horrible old fixed-field
languages of the 1960s. Python's relationship with Perl is rather like the
BSD community's relationship to
Linux — it's the smaller party in a (usually
friendly) rivalry, but the average quality of its developers is generally
conceded to be rather higher than in the larger community it competes with.
