Cute names are against Python's tradition IMO. > Since some projects (for exmaple docutils) already started to use > Optik it is becoming increasingly late for a name change. The docutils author can speak for himself; I think docutils can deal with the change. It's also simple enough to add something like this: try: from options import OptionParse except ImportError: from optik import OptionParse --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
