Ah, naming. My preferred subject. ;) Ok, you want it to imply a sense of 'old' or 'rough' or 'rotten' or 'crude', and yet have a cool name. Is 'Python' required to be part of the name? The first cool name that came to my mind was 'Monera'. It is a cool name because it refers (mostly) to prokaryotic organisms (organisms without a nucleus). It also resembles a bit 'Mono', which might be an useful association (Monera -> Mono, ah, so this is some thing related to .NET!). Another idea would be 'OxyPython', since it's the combination of Oxygen + Iron is that forms Rust. :) -- Sidnei da Silva Enfold Systems http://enfoldsystems.com Fax +1 832 201 8856 Office +1 713 942 2377 Ext 214 _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
