Great stuff but this name really doesn’t work. Make it a name with positive connotations.

While we are changing names for petty reasons, let's rename Python to something else, since a sizeable part of the population has a phobia of snakes.
I think it's a great name once you get the.. uh.. pun behind it.
What is the pun?
I agree, the unfortunately clever/punny name will detract from potential consideration based on illogical human subconscious thinking.
