I would agree, if Pyxie were, say, a Perl or C++ project.  Given
that it's a Python project, and that there is some connection
between PyCs/Pyxc and Python, it would seem to be a good idea to
avoid reusing the name of an existing and well-known (there's even
a book based on it) Python project.  But that's just IMHO...
