The fact that it doesn't mean anything could just as easily be a point in favor; it isn't anything else, either. > As to the alternatives proposed so far, PyPI is > too easily confused with PyPy, especially when > spoken, and "Package Index" doesn't say it has > anything to do with Python.

I may be biased, since PyPI is my preferred name for it by far (the "Python Package Index" says exactly what it is, and "PyPI" isn't a real stretch as a short form). -Fred -- Fred L.
