No way. One of Python's greatest strengths is that it's *friendly*: easy to learn, easy to recall, easy to re-read after you put it down. That it is also extremely powerful is something it shares with several other languages. A friendly logo can be just as (if not more) compelling than a "cool" logo. > 2) We should also bear in mind Guido's oppinion about using a snake for > identifying Python. He should've called it "Monty" then. I say we use a snake and *call* it "Monty". Works for me. > 3) And finally, we should consider it very seriously.

The one with sunglasses, then. ;-) Cheers, Terry -- -- Terry Hancock ( hancock at anansispaceworks.com ) Anansi Spaceworks http://www.anansispaceworks.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
