	Or for that matter, just CAN. A can of snakes even sort of
has a meaning. 

	But I'd prefer something boring and generic over PyPI. "PyPI"
has no meaning to just about anyone. Something like "archive.python.org"
or "depot.python.org" or "library.python.org". 

	hmm, how about "Repo Of Python, Organized"... REPO... I kind of like that,
simple, descriptive, recursive... 
	
	or DEPOT "Depot of Everything Python Organized Thoughtfully"?
