Not that it's necessarily a bad name, but *why* is that appropriate?
I immediately thought of the image of a snake biting its tail -- an ancient
symbol of the cycle of life, recursion, etc. The name for this symbol
appears to be variously:
Uroboros
Ourobouros
Ourobourus
Not sure which spelling is "canonical". Not so easy to pronounce though.
I also thought of doing something with "Python Squared", but it's neither
very original nor catchy.
Cheers,
Terry
