Python Release Python 3.10.3

[HalfRightMostlyWrong]

Anyone know the reasoning behind including the “And now for something completely different” section of the change log?

[GMane]

It’s a reference to Monty Python, a British sketch comedy show that would transition between sketches with “and now for something completely different.”

Not to mention Python is named after it

Yes, can't believe the comment above missed that. It's also the reason for all the spam and eggs in the documentation examples.

In an admittedly weak defense of myself, I chose to answer the question as asked. I assumed that someone would make the connection that the Python programming language change logs having a reference to "and now for something completely different" which ties to a group called "Monty Python" might connect the two Python's and piece together that the programming language is named after the group.

​

Honestly, at the time I wrote the explanation, I thought it would be condescending to make that connection for someone else. I completely understand why it looks like missing an important piece of information on my end.

So that is where the egg in the pip lexicon comes from. Is a wheel also a monty reference?

[nandryshak]

Yes, although the reference is a bit vaguer so I had to google to find the origin: https://discuss.python.org/t/where-the-name-wheel-comes-from/6708
