"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".
+1 for MOPP
