How do you pronounce "Scrapy"?

[Anderson Caco]

Well, this question is a little odd, but I have to make a presentation and I would like to speak it correctly. How do you pronounce Scrapy? Does it rhyme with "tacky"? With "flaky"? With "minify"?(this last one is inspired by the fact that the "py" in the end of the word suggests that its sound is the same as the "py" in Python)

Thanks!

It's a good question.  Scrapy is based on the root "scrape", as in scraping web pages, and since there is only one "p" (not two), the "a" is long like in "cape" making Scrapy rhyme with "capey", is that a word?  or as you say flaky.

The International Phonetic Association transcription might look like: 

/skreIpi/

[Anderson Caco]

Well... I think it is /skræpi/ since æ sounds like the "a" in cat [1], isn't it?
