This is a perfect example of "over-complexification" - Why didn't you
just use "D" instead of "${MY_PN:0:1}" ?

Just take a look at pypi.python.org repository structure. This URL can
be copy&pasted from one package into another package from the same
repository without any changes...


You can't copy/paste MY_PN, so while you are changing that, is it that hard to change *one* more character? Of the 290 ebuilds that use pypi, 172 of them use MY_PN. 83 use ${PN:0:1} for which your argument holds some water. As I said in the original message, I think we should strive for user friendly-ness but I guess I might be alone in that opinion. =/
