That specific example isn't actually true. Even with no prior history if you search "python" the first result is the programming language.
That's because Google is smart and despite the fact that more people know of Python as a snake, when somebody types just "python" into a search query, it's almost definitely true that they mean the programming language. Few people Google for types of snakes.

A similar thing is true for "ruby" and "rust".
