I like those.

I do not like those.

This is a common misspelling of Python, so I dislike this one.

The name should not be too similar to Python, to make it reasonable
simple to distinguish them. However, choosing a name that in some way
still resembles Python may be a good idea. That is why I like the first
two suggestions here, and dislike the others.
