When short obscure names are bad in programming, whay are they good in 
general communication.

"Python Packages" is too obvious perhaps?

When we start using eggs will it then be renamed to "Dairy Shop" or 
perhaps "Daisy" to make it obscure? Or the "Chickens Nest"?


Please. If it is meant to be used and understood, both Cheeseshop and 
Pypi are bad names.
