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!

- rexignis 11y agoDo you pronounce Py as 'pee'? If so that's interesting. Py is pronounced 'pie' in my head and when I occasionally say it aloud.
- ConnorG 11y agoThe 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.
- cobralibre 11y agoA Google Images search for "nesticle icon" should clear up any doubt.
- tdicola 11y agoI doubt it, lots of python projects stick 'Py' on the front. PyGame, Pyglet, PyQT, etc.
- catshirt 11y agoyes, 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".
- mod 11y agoYeah, 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.'
- gutomaia 11y agoIf 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!
