It took me 5 minutes to realize that this isn't PyPi the package manager but PyPy, an interpreter for python.

This was very confusing, especially because they mentionned pipx, which seems related to PyPi, so it was plausible this was about PyPi.

PyPI is not a package manager. It's the Python Package Index (hence the capital "I"). It hosts the packages but the standard manager is pip.

Yeah, it's like they're shooting themselves in both feet by just naming their project badly. What a pity.

It could have been worse. Years ago a promising audio format was competing with mp3. It was better quality at any given compression and open source. The creators named it "Ogg Vorbis". Like some kind of dungeons and dragons character or something. I haven't seen it around for a long time, I think that's because the name was so stupid.

The Vorbis codec was simply not as good[1] as AAC or Opus which have since superseded it.

Everyone laughs at Ogg Vorbis until the +3 great-axe starts swinging and you're taking an average of 2d12+16 damage per round.

People would just have called it "ov" and moved on. Look around the tech ecosystem, lots of thriving projects with stupid names.

Spotify is using it in their standalone clients.
