Python is also a object oriented programming language used very often on the Internet by web based tools such as Google. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.109.86.7 ( talk) 07:37, 1 March 2005 (UTC)
there's a programming program called Python. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.96.151.245 ( talk) 13:43, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

This discussion is a bit out of touch with reality, seeing as significant changes have taken place in the mean time. Python (snake) is currently a redirect to Pythonidae, which is the article that describes the entire python family, while Python (disambiguation) is a redirect to this page, Python, which is now the disambiguation page for this term. By the way, there's also Python (genus), which is potentially confusing, and therefore one of the reasons why I believe it's better to keep Python as a disambiguation page. -- Jwinius ( talk) 14:49, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
IMO, the current situation, which is already an acknowledgement of the many other things that are referred to as "python", is fine the way it is. I should also point out the confusing fact that with the snakes the family is called Pythonidae, while one of the genera below it is simply called Python. It looked really awkward when the article for the family was also called Python. So, I think that in this environment there may be no perfect solution, but what we have here comes pretty close. -- Jwinius ( talk) 12:46, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
I gotta say, I think this is a bit daft. Python should go to one of the snake articles, not a disambig page. Python the programming language is utterly obscure to the general population, compared to phython having to do with snakes. Wasted Time R ( talk) 01:45, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Shouldn't it be based on what most people will be searching on? By and far that would be researching the programming language. Look at search engine results, they are pro's at finding what people want. Daniel.Cardenas ( talk) 14:40, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
fyi: Some data: Python programming language was viewed 79,000 times in the month of May [1]. Pythonidae was visited 20,400 times [2]. The disambiguation page was visited 41,500 times [3]. Daniel.Cardenas ( talk) 14:20, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
Python should redirect to Python (genus), which is clearly the primary meaning. Wikipedia isn't any more the "encyclopedia that slashdot built". Never mind google hits. Wikipedia may be online, but it isn't focussing on online or computer topics. dab (��) 18:50, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
The 2013 New Brunswick python attack article concerns a python, but the incident is not ambiguously called "python". See Wikipedia:Disambiguation for the purpose of a disambiguation page. (Should all python incidents be listed here too?) + m t 22:12, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
In Greek mythology, The Anaconda was a snake/
Python so huge that it encircled the world at the
Equator ! Call it what you may, but the points to the tale are as follows:
A. It was a completely mythological creature, and it was like a python, which the Ancient Greeks knew of.
B. The Ancient Greeks had contacts, via travelers, in India, Burma, Ceylon, etc. Later on, the Romans even exchanged ambassadors with China. See the map of the world that was drawn by
Ptolemy, a Greek in Egypt long ago.

Make simply "Python" the name of the article about the snake, and then put the contents of this page into Python (disambiguation). Woshiyiweizhongguoren ( 🇨🇳) 15:27, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
