Renaming?

[kaklik]

Thumby currently is a Tiny playable keychain.

Original name thumb-py could be a better choice.

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, ...

[roman-dvorak]

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.

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?
