17 You can't copy/paste MY_PN, so while you are changing that, is it that
18 hard to change *one* more character? Of the 290 ebuilds that use pypi,
19 172 of them use MY_PN. 83 use ${PN:0:1} for which your argument holds
20 some water. As I said in the original message, I think we should strive
21 for user friendly-ness but I guess I might be alone in that opinion. =/
