Another Python has departed.

RIP yes, one of my favourite Pythons, saw them live at Drury Lane when I was still at school. OP has written another, but Graham Chapman* passed away over 20 years ago !

Yes, I was thinking of Graham Chapman, but also Neil Innes, who contributed a lot to Python behind the scenes, and who died only a few weeks ago.

Thought you might have been, but not sure. I saw Neil live too - a lifetime ago (have the Rutles album somewhere).

N.B seventh Python...can you keep a secret ? Well, you're in then.
