looking for a name for a python SIP phone
Anthony Baxter
So I've implemented a first cut at a pure-Python SIP (VoIP) phone, and
now I need a name for it. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any
Monty Python sketches involving a telephone - can anyone else? Other names?
(As an aside, it's impressive (to me) that this can be done in python -
a bit of a 'bah' to those people who think that an interpreted language
is "too slow" for complex tasks)
Yes, it will be released as open source.

Excellent! Always good to see the snake wriggling into a new crawlspace.
:)
I'm reminded of a few of Flying Circus sketches, maybe they'll help:
1. Episode..40-something, IIRC: There is a LONG phone conversation where
John Cleese keeps saying, "yes, yes...yes, yes...yes". Then checks his
shoe size. Others repeat the motif.
2. There's the joke where Cleese is a psychiatrist, can't get his
secretary to declare that he's not just any kind of doctor, so he makes
a ringing sound, picks up the phone and says, "no, sorry, this is a
_psychiatrist's_ office"
3. Piranha Brothers: Palin as Luigi while interviewed at his 'escort
service', answers the phone, saying, "Stumm! Stumm. Yes, the _watch_
will be ready at midnight. The *watch*. The Chinese 'watch'. OK. So
long... mother."
They're all small, but perhaps useful.

Aha! This will do nicely. I'd forgotten about this one, much to my shame ;)
Thanks very muchly.

All right, did anyone else translate "SIP" as "Strangers in Paradise"?

How about "Iggy", from the Iggy Pop song "Talking Snake"
(http://www.american-buddha.com/iggy.talking%20snake.htm)?
You could also call it "Eve" or "Hawwah", because she got taken in by a
talking snake in Genesis :-)

Yes, very impressive, please keep us updated.

Nope. Is Strangers in Paradise a Proposed Standard RFC?

free open source multiplatform Spyke system (www.spyke.com), using an
already existing Distributed Hash Table code in python (Khashmir).
The idea is to get a free decentralized internet telephony system, with a
very low cost of devellopment ....
Which voice encoding do you use ?
Hmm, I have no cultural reference for the Monty Python show, but.... let me
think....
PyPhone, the trivial one.
Voice over Python: Voopy.
PyTalk.
Telython, the python telephone.
just some, proposal, not very creative, but, something is something.

Michael Palin yelling at the demised bird, "HELLO, POLLY!" so maybe
"Parrot" or "Polly" would work.
