Someone else complained about the uppercase, too, and I said that if
anyone else complained, I'd change it.  (Jonathan, you win!)

Now, "pydo" would be my first choice, except that PyDO1 may currently
be in use on case-insensitive platforms, and then there would be a
conflict, presumably.  Is this important to anybody?  If there were a
conflict, it could be resolved by renaming PyDO1 to "PyDO1", but if
anyone complains that this would be a pain we can come up with
something else.  "pydo2", awkward as it is, suggests itself.  Or, if
you don't care for typing a number, we could use the evergreen "NG"
suffix, which would yield in lowercase "pydong".  (PyDoNG -- the ORM
with a Luminous Metaclass.)

I warn you all that I am perfectly capable of calling it "pydong".
There is no inhibitory sense of propriety in me to prevent it from
happening.  

Chirac-like, I call a plebiscite!  Options are:

  1. pydo
  2. pydo2
  3. pydong

ps.  My wife asked me to cast her vote for "pydong".  My son voted for
"pydo" (traitor!).
