Is the name a deliberate attempt to sound like "penis"? I'm asking because it reminds me of the first NES emulator I ever used, which went by the name of NESticle! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NESticle

Do you pronounce Py as 'pee'? If so that's interesting. Py is pronounced 'pie' in my head and when I occasionally say it aloud.

Thanks! I've always wanted to write a NES game and I guess it's easier to begin once you have some code written. This is a nice first step for beginners.

The name of that emulator coinciding with the word testicle was on purpose right?

I'm just glad I wasn't the only one who thought this back then.

I doubt it, lots of python projects stick 'Py' on the front. PyGame, Pyglet, PyQT, etc.

If it does pronounce that way in your language, it was just coincidence. By the way, NESticle was a great emulator back then. Wroted in assembly and used to run flawless on my 486!

The presentation gutomaia did on PyNES at PythonBrasil had a slide deck written using this tool.

yes, and "Pyglet" shows that the Py preface does not always follow the hard Y sound of Python.

so we can get pretty close, we might be able to pronounce it "pinnis".
