I am joining a bit later so catching up with previous posts and doing the
lessons so the following are my answers.

1. Python version that I am using is is Python 2.6.1 on Mac osX 10.6.8

2. Why are there two commas in
    print "Hello,", name
    ? What do you think the difference is between them?

The first comma prints the visible comma after the word "Hello" to the
screen. The second comma concatenates the "Hello" statement with the name
variable. I also noticed that it included a space.

3. Anyone know why the language was named Python?
