Monty Python paid tribute to Shakespeare. Or have you never seen the Monty Python TV episode "Hamlet" in which Hamlet wants to stop being a character in a Shakespeare play and become a private dick?

Or the Monty Python episode where the wife of Sir Philip Sidney (who may also be an inspector in the Vice Squad) is caught reading "Gay Boys in Bondage" and claims it is the latest play by Shakespeare? (And it is!)

In other words, you don't have to know Python to get Shakespeare, but it helps to know Shakespeare if you want to get Python.

Why is a python called a python?

Python was named by its creator, Guido van Rossum, after the British comedy series "Monty Python's Flying Circus." Guido wanted a name that was short, unique, and somewhat mysterious—something that would be memorable and not overly serious. The name "Python" has no connection to the snake; instead, it reflects the fun and accessible nature of the language itself, as Guido was a fan of the comedy show's humor and creativity.

What was unique about william Shakespeare's plays?

They are not really unique. There are many many plays by Shakespeare's contemporaries, many of which are better than the worst of Shakespeare's plays. Shakespeare was just one of a large number of people writing plays. But what history has shown is that Shakespeare, when he was on his game, was a far better playwright than any of his contemporaries and anyone else before or since. He was not unique, but he was and is the best.
