It's this binary package that lives on the Python package index on PyPI that people download NumPy from when they say pip install NumPy. So if you say pip install NumPy from Python 3.13, on day one, you're going to be using wheels that are already there before the release of Python 3.0.

Yes, one of the episodes of the Flying Circus has a skit about the cheese shop, and that's where that comes from.

But you just need to have some file extension for those things and some name for those things. We used to have a more primitive, early format for this sort of thing, and those were called eggs. Eggs were because, you know, snakes lay eggs, right?

So that made this other sort of reference, because Python and the name comes from Monty Python, but a lot of people just see the name Python and they're like, yes, snakes are cool, so snakes. We accept both sort of ways of interpreting this because snakes are indeed cool, yes, sure.

But yeah, now that we knew that eggs are not enough for what we need for proper binary packages, we were like, where to go now with names? And naming is hard, let me tell you this much. Naming is very hard.

Probably cannot. Maybe let's start from the very beginning there. So the goal that we have with this iOS support, for the time being at least, is not to have an application on the App Store called Python. That's not what we're doing.

What we are doing right now is to have the Python distribution, the source distribution, ready entirely for being embedded within another application that somebody wants to release on the App Store for iOS, right?
