31Where the name comes from ?
32---------------------------
33
34There are differing accounts of the origins of the Python name although the
35members agree that its only *significance* was that they thought it sounded
36funny. In the 1998 documentary `Live At Aspen` the group implied that *Monty*
37was selected as a gently-mocking tribute to Field Marshal Lord Montgomery,
38a legendary British general of World War II; requiring a "slippery-sounding"
39surname, they settled on **Python**. Get more infos in `References`_
