#19534 — PyPI - how do you pronounce it?

Hopefully this will be a step up from Rick's threads in usefulness,
but I'm aware it's not of particularly great value!

How do you pronounce PyPI? Is it:
* Pie-Pie?
* Pie-Pip, but without the last p? (same as above but short i)
* Pie-Pea-Eye?
* Something else?

I've been saying Pie-Pea-Eye myself, but am wondering what the most
normal pronunciation is. And am fully prepared for the possibility
that there is no one "most normal"!

It overlaps with “PyPy” which, to remain unambiguous, should be
pronounced that way.

> * Pie-Pea-Eye?

This. As an Anglophile, there is no compulsion to aggressively pronounce
every initialism; we spell them out where needed.

Obviously that's pronounced Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lim-bus-stop-F'tang-
F'tang-Olé-Biscuitbarrel.

The British pronunciation of Beauchamp created a minor incident
at Yeoman of the Guard auditions this weekend.

What about Sir Richard "Chumley", the "Left Tenant" of the Tower?

Although this is now quite off-topic for this list...

Very true. Our "Feebee's" couldn't even manage to agree on Heigh
Ho. PyPI clearly ought not to be pronounced on sentence of death.

You're a very silly man and I'm not going to interview you.

Concrete! Flavour of the month.

Thanks for the responses, all. Looks like Pie-Pea-Eye has consensus
(with hon mention to "cheeseshop", which makes sense for hysterical
raisins).

I actually always pronounce it "Python Package Index". That's unambiguous
(and can't be confused with things like peepee and stuff.)
