Python's developers aim for the language to be fun to use. This goal is reflected in the name—a tribute to the British comedy group Monty Pythoncite-ref-whyname-76-0[74]—and in playful approaches to some tutorials and reference materials. For instance, some code examples use the terms "spam" and "eggs" (in reference to a Monty Python sketch), rather than the typical terms "foo" and "bar".cite-ref-77[75]cite-ref-78[76] A common neologism in the Python community is pythonic, which has a wide range of meanings related to program style. Pythonic code may use Python idioms well; be natural or show fluency in the language; or conform with Python's minimalist philosophy and emphasis on readability.cite-ref-79[77]
