I absolutely adore Monty Python! Would it be alright if I gently remind our new-age coding enthusiasts, particularly those from the younger generation, that Python (the programming language) was actually named after this incredibly entertaining group, and not the snake species? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)#...

Yes. Express anything but actual humor on this forum, because humor is for Redditors so we don't do that here.

Except for speakers, only 1 or 2 attendees at todays PyCon MEA raised their hand when asked if they knew Python was named after Monty Python.

I wish Nim or maybe Mojo would have been named Monty instead.

"We are the knights who say Nim" nearly works

You just know that every theater audience will be shouting all the lines along with the movie. That alone will make it worth going.

I went to a reshooting sone number of years ago and was quite afraid this would happen. Doubly so as the theater was next to MIT. All in all it wasn’t too bad. Mostly just laughing.

But it sounds like you’re hoping for it to happen . In which case my anecdote says maybe it won’t.

I'd note that python is a genus, not a species.
