 Python (snake) - MSN Encarta
Pythons are primitive snakes that, like their close relatives the boas, still show signs of lizard ancestry.
Many of the bones in a python's skull are loosely attached with ligaments or skin, allowing the snake to stretch and expand the shape of its head and jaws to aid in swallowing large prey.
Other well-known pythons are the 6.7-m (22-ft) Indian python, a favorite of snake handlers; a subspecies of the Indian python, the Burmese python, which can reach similar size; the 9.8-m (32-ft) African rock python; and the 1.5-m (5-ft) ball, or royal, python of equatorial Africa, which coils into a ball when molested.

 Python - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Python is the common name for a group of non-venomous constricting snakes, specifically the family Pythonidae.
Pythons are distinguishable from boas in that they have teeth on the premaxilla, a small bone at the very front and center of the upper jaw.
Pythons are constrictors, and feed on birds and mammals, killing them by squeezing them to death.

 San Diego Zoo's Animal Bytes: Python
Small, young pythons may be attacked and eaten by a variety of birds, carnivorous mammals, large frogs, large insects and spiders, and even other snakes.
Even though snakes are ectothermic, the mother python can, amazingly, raise the temperature of her eggs up a few degrees by doing this.
Because of their bulk, pythons move by traveling forward in a straight line, which is known as "rectilinear progression.” This is accomplished by stiffening the ribs to provide support, then lifting a set of ventral (on the belly) scales and moving them forward so the loose ends grip the surface, pushing the snake ahead.

 Why Python? | Linux Journal
I had already heard just enough about Python to know that it is what is nowadays called a ``scripting language'', an interpretive language with its own built-in memory management and good facilities for calling and cooperating with other programs.
Python was the first general-purpose language I'd ever used that reversed this process.
Python could then evaluate the fetchmail --configdump output and have the configuration available as the value of the variable ``fetchmail''.
