My work proxy is blocking the link, but anytime someone lists something about The Cheese Shop/PyPI I take the time to watch the Monty Python sketch.

For those of you who are lucky enough to get to see it for the first time, this video is why a Python package repository is called a Cheese Shop.

"Not much of a cheese shop, is it?"


Gocheese?!

Pychesse wouldn't be better? A Think that this can avoid confusion.


It's written in Go which is why that is in the name.


That doesn't make it a good name or non-confusing.


Why Cheese? I makes me think of taking pictures.

The python package repository is often referred to as "The cheese shop" after the monty python sketch of the same name.
