Am I the only one annoyed by the name? "Bit" isn't very useful or specific, yet it takes up a pretty big parking space.

- bbcbasic 10y agoA parking space in ofek's city though. Feel free to call your project bit too.
- nerdponx 10y agoIf you release software to the public, you run the risk of other people wanting you to use it.
- pierrec 10y agoThat's not really how Python packages work. Public packages need unique names, mostly because of PyPI, where package names are all on the same namespace. This can cause some interesting problems: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0541/ https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0541/ Even locally, all packages are supposed to have unique names (though virtualenvs can make things nicer).
- nerdponx 10y agoAgreed. Why not call it "python-bitcoin"? pip install python-bitcoin and import bitcoin would be great. Otherwise the name "Bit" makes me think it's some kind of bit manipulation tools library.
