The trend for city conferences in U.S also is never to override the
"PyCon" prefix.

PyCon is the prefix for the nation wide conferences and has so far never
been used for a city conference IMHO.

If you have any doubt - why dont you take a look at the list of Python
conferences in this page ?

http://www.pycon.org/

You being on board PSF etc, I thought you would be more than aware of
this than the general Python public.

This will confuse people and cause a split in the community. Being the
wrong naming this could also cause abuse of the PyCon prefix. Tomorrow
someone can decide to start "PyCon <insert random locality name here>"
anywhere in India.
