+1 on pimp.
I am surprised. piddle and idle are OK, since they are harmless, but I do believe that getting Python packages via a "pimp" is a bit over the top.
I just don't view it as that insulting. In America it has become a slang term to mean something is cool; "That's so pimp!"
I don't think that's going to fly... just think of a user manual: "Please use the pimp for your platform to download piddle from the Internet. After successful operation, click on idle to start off into working mode."
