Python is named after the 1970s TV series Monty Python’s Flying Circus, so variables in examples are often named after sketches in the series.
Don’t be suprised to see spam, lumberjack, and shrubbery if you read up on Python on the web. As this is a document written by deadly serious scientists we will avoid this convention (mostly). However, it’s something to be aware of if you take your interest in Python further.
