The name conflicts with a similar python module that allows one to turn any Python console program into a GUI with one line.

I’m always skeptical of naming collisions and potential intent. It reminds me of the western conceptions of agrarian ritual.

To be fair/devil's advocate - "GUI" has been phonetically pronounced as "Gooey" by many people since inception, thus I think it is entirely reasonable for them to have adopted this name entirely unaware of the eponymous python library.
