Some think it is. Excerpt from this talk by Dustin Ingram: https://dustingram.com/talks/2018/10/23/inside-the-cheeseshop/ https://dustingram.com/talks/2018/10/23/inside-the-cheesesho... (halfway through) PyPI is sometimes called the Cheeseshop. This is a reference to this Monty Python skit, where a man goes into a cheeseshop which has no cheese for sale. The joke is that when PyPI was first created, there was nothing in it. Hence, "The Cheeseshop". But it does have stuff in it now, so it's not really even appropriate to call it that anymore.
