https://youtu.be/anwy2MPT5RE Spam is also canned ham. As Ipang noted the creator/s of Python loved Monty Python and as a result many references to Monty Python can be found. see the Knights who say Ni reference in the official documentation for another example of fan service https://docs.python.org/2.7/tutorial/inputoutput.html

Spam is the irrwlevant posting of repeated content. For example, this question is spam. In Python, spam and eggs are a pair of two commonly used variable names.

Additionally, to @Pegasus' answer, quoted from wiki: The Python programming language, named after Monty Python, prefers to use spam, ham, and eggs as metasyntactic variables, instead of the traditional foo,bar, and baz; the name "egg" is also used for an installation package format for Python libraries. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_(Monty_Python)
