PyKata ... YES!! Please don't tell me this means something awful in
Korean. :>) According to Wikipedia:
A kata can refer to any basic form, routine, or pattern of behavior
that is practiced to various levels of mastery. In Japanese
language, kata is a frequently-used word meaning “way of doing
things,” with emphasis on the form and order of the process. Other
meanings are “training method” and “formal exercise.” The goal of a
painter’s practicing, for example, is to merge his consciousness
with his brush; the potter’s with his clay; the garden designer’s
with the materials of the garden. Once such mastery is achieved, the
theory goes, the doing of a thing perfectly is as easy as thinking it.
Practice these problems until you can do them without thinking, at least
not thinking about syntax. I used to practice Karate, and this fits
perfectly.

I've seen a number of names pulled from the practice applications
martial arts used recently:

dojo : http://web.cs.wpi.edu/~gpollice/Dojo.html ,

(problematic due to popular javascript library with the same name)

OK, PyWhip is out. I'm still looking for something short and memorable.
How about PyJet? Fits right in with its most likely home on App Engine. I
can even imagine a logo with a jet engine strapped to a Python. I can't
think of any S&M connotations, but then I'm not very familiar with that
subculture. :>)
I'm more interested in opinions with reasons than just votes. The decision
will be made by those who are active on the project.
