[BangPypers] Advanced Python or Understanding Python

[CsquaredinOmaha]

Monty Python's humor often deals with remembering specific scenes.

http://www.armory.com/swallowscenes.html#question
The swallow bird reference is from the movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"

Soldiers tease King Arthur's knights for clopping coconut shells together
to create the sound of riding horses (the knights are hopping along on foot, pretending to be riding on horses).

The soldiers debate where the coconuts could have come from, arguing perhaps a swallow bird
dropped the coconut during migration.

Later,  the Bridgekeeper of the Bridge of Death asks challenge questions, the final one
being "What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen(as in "not carrying coconut") swallow?".
It is a joke circling around back to the non-sense debate the soldiers had in the earlier scene


Of course, Pythonistas like to have their own twist, therefore a project for improving the performance
of Python is like letting a swallow bird fly without having to carry a coconut!

By one of the people behind Unladen Swallow incidentally.  What's with
that name, btw?  Quite the mouthful, hard to swallow, so to speak.
