Yes, in Europe as well, I can confirm. In IT, Python is the programming language. On Google, even typed as a single word, it appears also on top of the search results beneath the animal.
It's above the animal for me.
I can see how this issue bothers the PSF, but I don't think PSF can claim "python" name for every technical-related topic.
I think a much better approach would be talking to them and agree a link on each other web, ie:
Python.org says: "Were you looking python awesome servers? Click here" And Python.co.uk will say: "Were you looking for awesome python software development resources? Click here"
Python (PSF) and Python (servers and web services) only have in common that are "technical related" but they are not competing with each other and I can't see a clear missunderstanding on this topic.
But, this is my POV, and I might be wrong =)
I (and probably several other) members of the board will be on this thread to answer any questions. Van Lindberg Chairman, Python Software Foundation Edit: I have been asked what sort of statements would be helpful. I can't tell you exactly what to say - it needs to be your statement, but we need to make it clear that when someone says "Python" in relation to software, or a "Python server," or with "Python experience…

You might have a case under 3c(ii).
Edit: By the way, Nominet themselves use (or used) mailman, which uses Python:

So you might have some sympathy there.
Europe seems to see Python as the name of a computer langauge. CERN uses Python. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=cern+python They developed the PythonRoot package: http://alcaraz.home.cern.ch/alcaraz/PythonRoot/ It's probably of interest that this and many other Python packages have the word "Python" in the name of the package. I would hate to have to wonder whether PythonCoolPackage was for the Python language, or for int…
I have been developing in python in Spain (EU) since long ago and I can't see how a product called "Python", as in "I will buy the latest Python server" or "We have connected the radius to the Python Authentication Web Service" is going to confuse anyone. I can see how this issue bothers the PSF, but I don't think PSF can claim "python" name for every technical-related topic. I think a much better approach would be t…
As someone who only started teaching himself the python language last week (but who has seen it around the web for a lot longer) I would naturally assume that "Python server" was some variation of the python language meant for web tasks.
In the context of IT, the word "Python" for me refers unambiguously to the programming language, and any other uses of this word in the context of IT would be very confusing.
I could not for instance create a programming language called "Google" and expect to get away with it...

At least Aalto University in Finland uses Python as the entry level teaching language nowadays [1]. I don't know anyone from the CS department but I'll do my best to reach out to them about the matter. [1]: https://noppa.aalto.fi/noppa/kurssi/t-106.1208/
University Of Glasgow as well, and this (rather incomplete) list from your own website, http://wiki.python.org/moin/SchoolsUsingPython#United_Kingdo... .
