Hmm, you're the second person to state that the name pimp isn't a good idea. I tend to like names with a bit of a joke in them, and there's more Python-related names that do this (idle, piddle).

Does anyone else have an opinion on the matter? +1 on pimp.

I am surprised. piddle and idle are OK, since they are harmless, but I do believe that getting Python packages via a "pimp" is a bit over the top.
