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"!

Personally, yes. Reflecting upon it, I now recognize this is ambiguous

with PyPy, but context should make it clear verbally.

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

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

This, primarily because it represents 3 words, and secondarily to
eliminate confusion with PyPy.

I consider this taken by PyPy, and I tend to run into the trap of
pronouncing both the same in close sentences, which then usually results in
an explanation what I actually meant.

I've heard people call it "Pippi", as in "long stocking". Makes sense to
me, but maybe that's because of my early German TV education ("Ich mach mir
die Welt, widewide wie sie mir gefällt" - basically, PyPI gives you the
tools to make your world the way you want it, including horses, monkeys, ...).
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hey,_Pippi_Langstrumpf
Looks like the original song text is by Astrid Lindgren, but only the
German translation creates the necessary link to something like PyPI.

I think a more obvious way to call it would be "cheeseshop", but since that
was tried and rejected, I'm all for making it "Pippi" officially.

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

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

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

Ho. PyPI clearly ought not to be pronounced on sentence of death.

I actually always pronounce it "Python Package Index". That's unambiguous
