Is the word "Python" copyrighted/trademarked?

Actually I have been wondering for some time why you would want to do
that. Why would I call my program "pyScrewup" instead of "Screwup"?
People usually don't call their programms "C++Writer" or
"ObfuscatedperlMail" ...

I think such names are rather confusing because I tend to assume that
the name is mostly related to the job the piece of software does.
