A request to rename pycodestyle
dutkulang opened this issue · comments
it has been noticed that typing in the word pycodestyle into the terminal is a burden, the word too is not sexy but just lousy.
I suggest it be renamed to Joy a 3 digit word easy to remember and type.

joy is taken on pypi
we were already forced to rename the project once (from pep8), which still hasn't really been properly realized (a million downloads a month of the project that doesn't exist any more!)
renaming is a big pain in the ass so it's not going to happen
