Wrong snake
Is it a cobra?
Are you gonna call GI Joe?
Knowledge IS power

OP just made an asp of himself.
That constricts all my respect.
Impressively bad snake identification, really. Two of the most distinctive and different-looking snakes in the world, with one of the primary differences currently on full and prominent display ... and OP just confused them.
OP probably just found the picture. OOP probably just found a picture of a snake in a computer and made the joke, not caring it’s actually a cobra.
I don’t think most people can identify five breeds of snakes reliably, but I think most people know a cobra when they see it, due to the fins or whatever they’re called. Like you know when you hear a rattlesnake (I assume; I’ve never encountered one).
Or wrong software:

It could, theoretically but probably not, be a multilayered joke about thinking you installed Python but actually installing something else, like any of the other snake-themed programming thingies or straight-up malware.
