I became reconciled to the name when I realized it could be taken as saying 
that it's somewhere you won't find any cheese, but will find plenty of Python 
code :)

I must say I was surprised people found potential confusion between PyPy and 
PyPI, though. I'd always pronounced the latter as Py-Pea-Eye (and it was a 
tool for finding useful Python packages, so the other meaning of PI fit, too)

Cheers,
Nick.
