Honestly, no :) Check your /etc/bash.bashrc. The default has a little
conditional if the command you typed isn't found it runs that little python
script to look for possible packages that might contain what you were
trying to run. It's annoying an I tend to disable it so when I typo a
command it doesn't slow me down doing the search. Find it with "which
command-not-found" and you can read the python code, which doesn't really
say much, but is interesting none-the-less.
