Is the word "Python" copyrighted/trademarked?

I thought that MS just lost a court case against Lindows over the use of 
their trademarked term "Windows". The judge basically said you cannot 
(TM) a word that is in such common usage and merely describes its main 
feature. A bit like Ford trademarking "car", I suppose. Wouldn't this 
apply to "Python" as well?
