[Python-Dev] Package Install Manager for Python

[Jack Jansen]

Wonderful, split votes:-)

I'm going to leave the name at pimp for the time being (Python 2.3, 
Mac-only), and
after 2.3 I'll probably write a PEP on the subject and come up with 
another name.

Note that "pimp" is the name of the underlying module only, the user 
interface
which people would normally use is PackageManager. Pimp can be invoked 
as a
commandline tool too, but this is only for die-hard unix hackers 
anyway, and I'll
just chance it they can see the humor.

And, yes, I guess it's a cultural thing. Here in Amsterdam a pimp is a 
pretty
respectable profession. Definitely higher standing than a cab driver, 
somewhat
on par with a coffeeshop owner:-)
