Subject: module name is a trademark infringement
It's me again :). The name "SuperPython" is a trademark infringement. The Jython project (www.jython.org) originally named their software "JPython" but had to change the name to "Jython" for this very same reason. Jython != Python != SuperPython. For background, refer to http://www.jython.org/cgi-bin/faqw.py?req=show&file=faq01.002.htp http://linuxtoday.com/developer/2000102101906OSSW http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=4402 I recommend the module be renamed Acme::SuperWython for super-whitespace-Python. -dave

Thanks for the advice. I'll take my chances in court.
