"Monty" was selected (Eric Idle's idea) as a gently mocking tribute to Field Marshal Lord Montgomery, a British general of World War II; requiring a "slippery-sounding" surname, they settled on "Python". Flying Circus stuck when the BBC explained it had printed that name in its schedules and was not prepared to amend it.

Based on this post it seems M. Python is the scientific name for the Ouroboros

Then what is M. Bison the scientific name for?

Raul Julia, of course

It's named after the python language, obviously. Nothing beats recursive referencing.
