I forgot to address this part... I think it would create a lot of hype. What well-established programming language has ever had the nerve to change its name after more than a decade of success? Think of the attention that alone would bring :) python would get slashdotted to death! CNN would probably write about it... maybe the BBC too. Python could have a huge name changing contest/campaign and maybe some killer app could be released just as the name had changed. Guido could make some statement about dropping the cold-bloodedness of Python, becoming more warm and inviting, etc. etc. It would be a smashing success. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
