Jack, please change the name of that module before it's too late. Something like pkgman would much better fit the purpose (or packman if you feel that it should be a funny name ;-).
Packman is cute and clever.
Hmm, you're the second person to state that the name pimp isn't a good idea. I tend to like names with a bit of a joke in them, and there's more Python-related names that do this (idle, piddle).
Does anyone else have an opinion on the matter?
-10 Ok, I'll be uncool. To me, a pimp is a type of rapist. Hardly something to joke about. In much of America, asking a female employee to use 'pimp' to procure something might well be an invitation to file a sex-harassment lawsuit. To both me and my wife (who would be insulted if so asked), the name says 'this is a college frat/nerd prank product, not for serious business/professional use". Terry
