This is like calling a python package "ListComprehension", that loops through a list and calls OpenAI's API on each item. Confusing and unproductive.

The python package (and repo) is called ‘monkeypatch.py’ for the avoidance of confusion.

Calling my library "listcomprehension.py" doesn't really avoid confusion. In fact, `pip install monkey-patch.py` looks downright odd.

Yeah I definitely agree on the latter point, it does look odd. PyMonkeyPatch?

I don't think you grasp the point.

I understand the point. I would ideally like an association with monkey-patching something as that is relevant to the behaviour of the package. However, not so similar that it shadows the technique of monkey-patching!

LlamaPatch? Once open source model support is added of course :)
