OK, I get it, but when I'm trying to write automation for a shop that isn't natively Python-savvy (long story short, it made sense when I started a side project which evolved), if I use that library and ever move on, I now have to document in comments or somewhere WTF "BeautifulSoup" means. Because of some rando's inside joke they thought was funny.

This is actually one reason I prefer the Ruby ecosystem — whimsy is still welcome. The world has enough Noun Manager projects.

When I'm trying to figure out how to build a side project for my team and simultaneously fighting company bureaucracy who reflexively stonewalls things on the order of "no one's done that before, we need permission," I don't also want to deal with some immature idiot's stupid namespace. I want a damned Noun Manager for my own sanity's sake.

The name is also a reference to Alice in Wonderland.
