Yea I do, but I have a stutter and "d" (particularly trying to transition to it from the "s") and "st" are hard for me to get the sounds out anyways (ironic given my name contains both a D and a St!). I don't know how hard it is for someone else to say, probably slightly harder but not by much. This is why I also hate the "distribution" term, I have a hard time saying the whole word without getting stuck in the "stribut" part. Anyways, name is the least important part to me as long as we get a dedicated extension out of it :) ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
