The current code is in a mercurial repository that includes named 
branches coming from the older svn repo.  Mercurial doesn't handle named 
branches very well (especially in my case where they conflict with tag 
names) so I am planning to split the repository into two or more clones.

Splitting the repo will break all the current links, and I need to 
change and upgrade Trac to use mercurial (it still uses svn), breaking 
more links.  So I am considering making another change at the same time:

I am planning to rename Urwid to either conui or consoleui.

"Urwid" was an awkward shortening of "cURses WIDgets", but the library 
has grown to more than that.

"conui":
  * could be pronounced the same as "ennui" (only 2 syllables)
  * doesn't conflict with other software naming
  * quick to type
  * similar naming to the old ms-dos conio.h

"consoleui":
  * precisely describes purpose of library
  * some conflict with other software names
  * longer to type

I want your opinion, which would you rather use?

Ian
