Python audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "Python" — noun, pronounced /ˈpaɪθən/, with the stress on "py".
Narrator: A python is a large snake that kills animals by wrapping itself around them and squeezing.
Narrator: In plain English, it is a huge squeezing snake.
Narrator: It comes from Python, a monstrous serpent in Greek myth killed by Apollo.
Narrator: A common collocation is "reticulated python", which describes one of the longest snakes in the world.
