Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

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".

Yeah, you can pronounce it that way if you want, and you could say "pie-glet," too--it doesn't mean it was a 'deliberate attempt.'

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

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.

A Google Images search for "nesticle icon" should clear up any doubt.
