Thanks everyone who's thrown their ideas into the mix. Here's the list of 
potential names for PyPI, drawn from a number of sources, limited to only 
those which had "seconds":

- - PyPI
- - Shrubbery
- - MOPP (Ministry of Python Packages)
- - Eggs
- - Eggcrate
- - Pylon
- - PyCAN
- - Vault

Personally, I'd rather not go with eggs or eggcrate, as that's only one of the 
formats of binary distribution (even if it might take over the Python binary 
distribution world). Pylon is just a little too obscure for me. PyPI is 
definitely out, given some feedback about potential misunderstandings ;). A 
number of us really don't like anything resembling CPAN. So the list really 
is:

- - Shrubbery
- - MOPP (Ministry of Python Packages)
- - Vault

Of those three, I'm tied between the last two. Anyone want to help me? Note 
that I'm not interested in new suggestions at this point :)

I've contacted the Vaults of Parnassus people regarding all this to garner 
their input.
