Renaming? about thumby HOT 3 OPEN

Issue with original name

is that a - character is not allowed. So import anything-anything for example is not allowed. Module names should follow this naming rules (official coding style advice for python):

Modules should have short, all-lowercase names. Underscores can be used in the module name if it improves readability. Python packages should also have short, all-lowercase names, although the use of underscores is discouraged.

Technical rules for naming of modules are identical as rules for naming variables: they must start with either a letter or an underscore and then be composed entirely of letters, digits, and/or underscores.

Names i considered:

• thumb_py, thumbpy - both felt a bit wierd
• thumby - I agree with a Tiny playable keychain "issue".

Maybe we should consider a completely new name?

How I came with thumb-py (associations)

• thumbnail, image, 3D printer, inserting, view, gcode, ...

from thumby.

The name should be more descriptive. I don't know (from name) what thumby or thumb-py does.

Especially if an executable application will be created for this.

I would suggest something like gcode_img_inserter, gcode_prew, img_inserter, gcode_thumb. Or maybe something in the style of gprew, gprewpy.

Having short names is good point. But it must not cause the name to be insufficiently descriptive.

from thumby.

Executable script has name gcode_img_inserter.py right now.

I suggest gcode_thumbnailer for the library because I feel like its descriptive and quite short at the same time. Is there any alternative that you prefer over my suggestion or should I change it?
