Why Is Python Called Python? 

Here's some Interesting facts about one of the world's most popular programming languages. 

A large portion of us coders have utilized the Python programming language regularly. On the off chance that you haven't coded in Python yet, I enthusiastically suggest you  invest some energy learning the essentials and afterward do your next programming task in Python. Python is one of the most well known programming languages out there. But have you at any point pondered in your Python programming life why Python is called Python and not P, P++ or P#?

The intriguing actuality is that the programming language Python was made by Guido van Rossum. While Guido van Rossum was implementing Python, he was additionally reading some released scripts from Monty Python's Flying Circus. In the event that you've never heard about Monty Python's Flying Circus previously, I'll give a quick outline and we can discover the reasons why Python is called Python. How about we investigate! 

Monty Python's Flying Circus is a BBC Comedy TV show from the year 1969. It is an exceptionally popular series. Python programming language is profoundly famous as well. As indicated by an ongoing Stackoverflow study, Python has overwhelmed Java in popularity. Python is a celebrated programming language since it is anything but difficult to learn and utilize. Furthermore there is an enormous number of libraries accessible that can be utilized in your projects today! A few programmers even believe it to be an absolute necessity to know this programming language. 

In the event that you read the Python documentation, you will see numerous references to the Monty Python Flying Circus: the documentation is littered with words like spam, eggs, lumberjack, knights, etc.

Back to Monty Python, a portion of the coding community considers Monty Python to be an absolute must-see show. Why? Well, Monty Python is an incredibile, unique post-modern satire, unlike anything you've ever seen. The comedy is incredibly imaginative. It discusses everything. It probably won't be entertaining for everybody, especially people that don't expect the Spanish Inquisition, but I would definitely suggest to watch it. 

The Python programming language can be utilized to do any programming task, from DevOps to Data science tasks to solving complicated mathematical computations across distributed machines. It is an extraordinary language to build your projects.
