Hmmm, we didn't really want to get the feeling of oldness or rottenness
- it was just side-effect of a terrible pun on C/sea. If the pun not
only is really bad but also falls flat, then it's definitely a bad name ;-)
OxyPython sounds much cooler; but Python's definitely not required as
part of the name.

One further question for this list, before I create a repository and mailing list
elsewhere for the project - what should the project be called? The best one we've come
up with in-house is "RustPython" (IronPython, *C* extensions, you get the
picture) and I'd be really grateful if someone could come up with a less appalling pun...
Ah, naming. My preferred subject. ;)
Ok, you want it to imply a sense of 'old' or 'rough' or 'rotten' or
'crude', and yet have a cool name. Is 'Python' required to be part of
the name?
The first cool name that came to my mind was 'Monera'. It is a cool
name because it refers (mostly) to prokaryotic organisms (organisms
without a nucleus). It also resembles a bit 'Mono', which might be an
useful association (Monera -> Mono, ah, so this is some thing related
to .NET!).
Another idea would be 'OxyPython', since it's the combination of
Oxygen + Iron is that forms Rust. :)
