21Where the name comes from ?
22---------------------------
23
24There are differing accounts of the origins of the Python name although the
25members agree that its only *significance* was that they thought it sounded
26funny. In the 1998 documentary `Live At Aspen` the group implied that *Monty*
27was selected as a gently-mocking tribute to Field Marshal Lord Montgomery,
28a legendary British general of World War II; requiring a "slippery-sounding"
29surname, they settled on **Python**.
