A Programmer Named Tim

If Python is a religion with Guido Van Rossum as God, Tim Peters is one of the early apostles. It may be a reference to him. Try
>>> import this
Also in Monty Python (from which the name of the Python language comes), there is a character named Tim the Enchanter. Could be also a reference.
