- - Shrubbery - - MOPP (Ministry of Python Packages) - - Vault
"Shrubbery" doesn't mean anything to me, and I'd have a hard time using it in a sentence. "You can find that in the Shrubbery." I guess I could say "Python Shrubbery", but that hardly sounds like a *place*. So I don't see a whole lot going for that one.
Vault sounds like a place, but isn't distinctive enough alone -- I'd have to call it the "Python Vault". vault.python.org indicates this as well, of course. This is a fine, straight-forward term, which makes its intent quite clear.
But I do like MOPP, which is somewhere in between the two. It's a distinctive term -- the only Google results for "mopp" are medical, which we'd quickly outrank. Though I don't know exactly how I'd use it in a sentence. "You can find that in the MOPP"? That doesn't sound quite right to me... but maybe it just takes time to become familiar. I can almost imagine using "Ministry" more often, like "I notice you haven't submitted your package to the Ministry, tsk tsk".
