Nobody expects that the "Py" in PyPI should be pronounced differently than the "Py" anywhere else, including "PyPy", and due to the math heritage people will be likely to proncoune 'pi' the same way as well. By the way, I also wish that our package installation tool hadn't been called "easy_install". It's an overly generic name that doesn't set up any associations with Python.

[APE](http://www.tbray.org/ape/) was a big help.

And it's the name of the [Atompub spec draft](http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-atompub-protocol) of course. I'm with Atompub since 2005 and I'm glad that many developers are going to use it in their RESTful publishing projects. I guess you're writing Atompub stuff in Python, aren't you?
