Richard Jones is the authority on the story, but from what I can remember from the discussion it was decided that managers would have had issues with using a service called the Cheeseshop. So basically the idea of professional-sounding name won out. I still use cheeseshop.python.org to access the package index. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
