Gotta love TLA [1] and EFLA [2] and their cousins.

Cute... but I'm looking for something that could be use as a module name.

Weirdly interesting.  JaSON -like    (Apologies to people that have
never heard of Friday the 13th movies ... I've never seen them, but I
can make this reference, which shows how pervasive popular culture is
here...)

Hmmm since French is my mother tongue, I don`t know what to make of
the Crunchy Frog suggestion ;-)

Perhaps Guido, our Brother Dedicated to Foster Laughter through his
inspirational use of Monty Python references, is still hanging around
and will come up with a suggestion of his own.  After all, I'd like to
use his official tutorial as a sample application of this approach.

I realise this is starting to stray quite a bit: I apologize to this
hijacking of a list discussing educational application of python for
the purpose of coming up with a name for my app.
